Treasures Decoded

The episode I watched (largely about Hadrian's wall) could have been done in ten minutes. The content was limited and comprised largely of what the Victorians would have called a 'penny-dreadful', dwelling as it does on the same characters being killed over and over again. There was an unconvincing reconstruction of a ballista - a long-range weapon being used at only a few metres, penetrating a thin looking piece of plywood and some offerings from the meat counter. Other reviewers have mentioned historical inaccuracies.

My attention span, such as it is, is somewhate greater than 60 seconds so my wife and I had to turn it off before drove us crazy.
