I was really looking forward to this but oh how disappointing the first episode is . Acting is poor , even James Norden failed to capture the imagination as Harold . As for William he hasn't even got the traditional Norman haircut . The story is disjointed and certainly doesn't follow the history books I've read. So what's good ? Well not a lot at the moment but I shall persevere with it only to see the battle of Hastings. No doubts it will be historically inaccurate. I really don't understand the BBC , they had a really good historical story and they messed it up.
