Atlantis - BBC prog

[rich p]

I've just scanned the stills the BBC is using to promote the programme
It looks comically ham

Hercules looks like an overweight publican, and in the picture of him, and a suitably erudite-looking Pythagoras, it looks like they're playing hide-n-seek.
Could be one to steer clear of.

Noticed the trailer for it last night.

I think i will give it a miss.

 

[Aperitif]

Is there nothing that will 'Pasiphae' you, Rich?

 

[rich p]

You are drawing my attention to something I never knew about to tell me to avoid it? OK thanks.

But at least you won't stumble across it now thinking it's a repeat of Up Pompeii

Bound to sink without trace?

 

[Crackle]

Same shower as did Merlin, so I thought this was aimed at younger viewers i.e. not you Rich.

 

[s7ephanie]

I used to love Merlin, so will give it a watch to see if its as good

Touring in Wales, took the Gekko through the Margam Country Park near Port Talbot.

Lo and Behold, lots of Knights running around hitting each other with swords

Spent an hour or so watching Merlin being filmed

 

[tmesis]

Pythagoras (real) and Hercules (myth) together? Why?

We hate it when Hollywood plays fast and loose with British history (Enigma, anyone?), so I imagine it must really grate on the Greeks to see others needlessly mangle their history.

'Think of this as the Greek A-Team'

 

[Lullabelle]

Dr Bashir from Deep Space 9 is in it

Keep me posted Crock - I can't actually bear to watch it

 

[LarryDuff]

What a pile of pooh!

 

[Silver Fox]

Mmm, I'll give it a couple of episodes but initial impressions aren't good.

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Dr Bashir from Deep Space 9 is in it

Thought it looked like Alexander Siddiq in the bits in the papers, & TV trailers

Now.... if it had Terri Farrell in it it

I did enjoy 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D' though on Friday evening
