Ursus Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 It sounds great. Fine British acting. American production values. It's a winning combination. I wonder if my local PBS station will carry it, as they often do piggy back BBC productions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Pilus Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Well HBO doesnt let PBS air its other shows, so I doubt it (at least I dont think they do). Best bet is probably to get it on DVD after the first season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentium Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 I'm not sure I know this series =) speaking of which, last week in Italy another of these sad reality shows popped up, "Ritorno al presente"("return to present days"), which is supposed to take place in the roman era...only VIPs can enter it though, and when they are "nominated" they receive the "nominatio", or "nominationis" =|. The saddest thing since the teletubbies really..except the teletubbies do have a reason to exist (I mean, it's a good entertainment for children), ritorno al presente doesn't it's also an insult to our origins, considering the people who are taking part in it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Pilus Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 The HBO/BBC Rome show hasn't aired yet. It won't until late summer, 2005 if I remember right. Nobody knows if it will be any good, but both networks are generally well respected for their original series productions. And as far as 'reality' shows go... they are getting more and more ridiculous every day. Hopefully they die off soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I read in the thread it should be very good, if it's on BBC then I can watch it, but I feel like I'd better get the DVD once and if it comes out (the power of subtitles!! that would help me understand it better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Pilus Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 I assume it will be on the BBC, but I really don't know how these joint productions work. Was 'Band of Brothers' aired on the BBC? If so, then I assume 'Rome' will be as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primus Pilus Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Has anyone seen a preview yet... I've been watching diligently and no luck yet. I have heard a short preview has been released though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursus Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 An update: http://www.friends-classics.demon.co.uk/ne...ews_tv_rome.htm Mods, can we move this to the "Roman Media" section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
