I've not watched a great deal of television this month. Bruce Parry has been back on our screens with a documentary series on the Arctic. It's been fascinating stuff and I love Mr Parry purely for the empathy and interest he shows in what he is doing, he's such a top bloke and whilst some of his programs are bitter-sweet in content he manages to be objective at all times.
Spartacus: Gods of the Arena is now showing on Starz, it's a prequel series to last years Spartacus: Blood and Sand. It's minus Andy Whitfield (Spartacus) who has been ill over the last year (odd it still carries the Spartacus label though). It's more about John Hannah's character and his wife Lucy Lawless as they rise through the Roman socialite ranks with their gladiator school and so far it's shaping up very well indeed. Check out a trailer below.
Next up is the Tudors (season 4 - and final one), is back on BBC2, 9pm Saturdays. Ok so it's a history 'light' version of Henry the eighth but it's still compelling tv. I'm hoping they follow it up with a series about Elizabeth the 1st in coming years. Here's the new season trailer.
