They even spent money on elephants to do this????????

Since when did the Romans bring elephants to Britain -- o just nevermind.

P.S. I love elephants as much as anybody and am aware this is not the fault of the elephants in any way or form.

They're the elephants from GoT that failed to be in season 8. This show is as much fantasy as GoT, so they can crossover.

It's now a trend that television people don't know wtf they are doing, as D&D just bragged:

hmm, maybe the elephant thing did happen, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_war_elephants

Hmmmm indeed!

Quote

Famously, the Romans used a war elephant in the invasion of Britain, one ancient writer recording that "Caesar had one large elephant, which was equipped with armor and carried archers and slingers in its tower. When this unknown creature entered the river, the Britons and their horses fled and the Roman army crossed over,"[7] - although he may have confused this incident with the use of a similar war elephant in Claudius' final conquest of Britain. At least one elephantine skeleton with flint weapons that has been found in England was initially misidentified as these elephants, but later dating proved it to be a mammoth skeleton from the stone age.[8]

My favorite elephant in war story is the one of Hannibal's war elephants, who crossed the, I think it was the Rhone River, which was too deep -- but they walked across underneath the water with their trunks upraised over the surface -- snorkles!

I still am sad thinking of the poor elephants of Hannibal's campaigns.  They were so faithful and good, and they lived to mostly starve to death as well as killed in other ways.  :crying:  Elephants deserve better than humans.

From the makers of sherlock has me wondering if this will average 3 episodes every 2-3 years? I'll give it a shot though as I quite like a dracula show - I even enjoyed that odd one with Rhys-meyers several years ago so my tolerance is quite high.

I enjoyed it too (getting over his risible idea of how to 'talk 'murican', even though I felt I was the only one to even watch it. :laugh:

Gotta say though, this Drac looks to be really bad, and not anything I have any interest in at all.

Dublin murders has been airing in UK for past couple of weeks and it's really good. Fans of the missing and broadchurch should find something to enjoy. There's also a weird horror vibe to it all - think twin peaks before it became really odd. So far I think it's "real" and there's no supernatural stuff going on but there are moments where I've thought "this could go anywhere"

Gold Digger: Trailer | BBC

 

Quote

 

The first she’s spent by herself in the 35 years she was married to Ted (Alex Jennings), before he left her. Determined to have a good day, Julia (Julia Ormond) leaves her Devon home and heads to London to celebrate with her children - but one by one they let her down.

Leo (Archie Renaux), her youngest, simply because he forgets. Della (Jemima Rooper), her only daughter, marooned abroad and guilt-stricken, and her firstborn Patrick (Sebastian Armesto) who is struggling to maintain a hectic work and home life - all whilst fighting an attraction to a colleague.

Feeling adrift, Julia’s at a low ebb when she happens upon a young man in a museum, Benjamin (Ben Barnes). The pair get talking and before she’s quite sure what’s happening they’re beginning a whirlwind romance. All that’s left to do - introduce him to her children.

But they are suspicious of this younger man’s motives, and soon start plotting how to remove him.
