The Beeb and Carnival are starting filming on The Last Kingdom, an eight part mini series set during the ninth century reign of King Alfred the Great.  It will be based on Bernard Cornwell's The Saxon Stories.  Thought I might hip you Cornwell fans to this in case you missed it.

Quite welcome.  You might want to clean up all that 'excitement,' though.

Wow, somehow I missed this as well! The Downton Abbey producer connection just might be enough to get my wife to watch it. Thanks!  O0

About half-way through Season 3 and damn is it starting to get good like a Viking-Fighting Show should. Lots of bodies dropping everywhere. And this time not just in bed with hot Viking wenches.  :bd:

I binged the first 8 episodes the day after Thanksgiving, thinking that the season only had 8 episodes.  There are 10.  I will remedy my ignorance of them this weekend.  There are two storylines I am currently not a fan of, one minor, one major.  The season on the whole has been pretty awesome though.  Destiny is all!

I think I saw Bob's ancestor in the last episode. The guy with the Battle 'Stache the Vikings used to batter down fort gates.  :2funny:

That'd be great uncle Eric.......or maybe great auntie Freeda - they all looked much the same.

When I was a kid I used to wonder how my grandparents could kiss without their moustaches getting entangled.

Just finished the tenth episode.  There is a scene in the last episode that makes it all worth it.  Season 4 can't get here fast enough!!!!
