Although i didnt see the cleo documentary, i did have the somewhat dubious privelige of being in it! (the clean shaven legionary in mail with pteyrges)<br>
<br>
Unfortunately i was only told about it the day before! this led to a prolonged scrabble in the back of our (later first century) group's van in pitch darkness, and rapidly cramming as much roughly appropriate kit into the back of a car as possible (and then some!) set off for the studio. Arriving complete with the (very) basic elements for two almost passable augustan legionaries kits (coolus/mail combo), we were mistaken by the film crew for crusaders .... who were expecting the generic segmees.<br>
<br>
so much for progress!!, i didnt feel so bad about any less obvious anachronisms after that comment! (the shields were old ones belonging to our group which had been lying in someones back garden for 5 years!)<br>
