Historical is a bit far fetched, but its entertaining.

There's a poster on here who is right up on his Ottomans and Byzantines, maybe Brynmill? Would like to hear their opinion on the show for historical accuracy. Enjoyed it myself.

I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.

And a better series on there is the Aaron Hernandez story, absolutely superb that is. I'm not up on yank sports, but still surprised not to have heard of his actions before.

I love a bit of historical fiction, Scarrow, Haviaras, Doherty, Sansom and Hastie. I'll give it a go but I generally prefer the books to the tv versions.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

The problem with historical fiction is that more often than not it’s not needed as the real stories are far more juicy, dramatic and exciting.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

That's why I have grown to love History too but still I like the histfic because they weave the fiction into the real events and the characters, if well written grow on you. It was through reading histfic that I started looking into the real events and learning about real history.

I’m just going over to Sky Tv Neathie with Netflix added. I’ll watch it and check out it’s historical accuracy , as Swandownunder alluded to.

The TV shows tend to play far too fast and loose with hitorical accuracy, take Britannia with that David Morissey, what a load of cobblers.
