Quote:"But the BBC just had to succumb to the history geeks who accused it of 'dumbing down'... The result was Ancient Rome: the Rise and Fall of an Empire (Thursdays BBC1) which has proved what every schoolchild knows: plain history is boring. Don't listen to the geeks again!"

So there you are. We're all geeks.

Yup!

So if a hero does not struggle from one battle scene to yet another bed scene, it's boring? Silly gits.
