King and Conqueror
BBC drama series covering 1066 and all that
First episode was kind of OK, as it had to introduce the cast and set the scene, and second was watchable at least, but I was happy to see how it turned out (OK we know how it turns out, but anyway). Kept watching and it gets better and better. Episode 5 was superbly written and acted, particularly the women, with the rival queens cleverly portrayed as a kind of diplomatic backchannel trying to get a deal to avoid war.
Solid recommendation and worth persevering through the first 2 to or 3 merely OK episodes.
I'm wondering when the Meddling Monk shows up trying to tip the scales in favour of Harold
