oh thanks corpsey i was sad no one said that yet. i used to watch it with my little sister.
i used to have these two books. they were amazing, especially the second one
(in fact, now I think of it, about half the children's books and tapes I can remember were either written or narrated by tony robinson. legend)
That show was brilliant. Black Adder for kids, as a mate of mine put it. BA was fucking amazing, too. The episode with Johnson's dictionary was on telly over Christmas, still funny as hell I don't know how many viewings later.

I hate this show. I hate elfs and orcs. I hate dwarfs and magicians. The only thing worse than dwars, elfs, orcs and the like is the thought of them having sex with each other. I only watched the first episode and it made me sick, although that might have been caused by my nostalgic thoughts about Xena the warrior princess. Which I, admittedly, liked when I was younger.
i made a coffee for xena once. she loved it. she was very tall and strong and was wearing white reeboks.
Thing is, apart from the first couple of minutes of the first episode, there's been nothing supernatural happen at all (I've watched like 5 or 6 eps so far). The 'dwarf' as luka points out is a bona-fide midget, not a gold-obsessed Gimli-a-like. There's the dragon chat, but they're all dead. It's just people, and not even magical people at that.

Wasn't there some half-horse half-person character in it as well?
Yeah, there's no elves, dwarves, orcs, magicians or dragons in the TV show... yet...
The one thing Game of Thrones really needs (and probably can't afford) is some huge fuckoff battle sequences ala. LOTR.
I liked how they handled the battle in the series (can't talk about it as it'll spoil it), but still...
