“Mum, Mum, the Roman Mysteries…!” shrieked Daughter last night, so the dinner making was abandoned for a quick look. It was the first trailer for the new TV series we’d seen. Looks good.
Mysteriously, the one hour episodes of the Roman Mysteries have turned into half hour episodes, starting on Tuesday 8th May at 16.30 on BBC1. A quick look at Caroline Lawrence’s website suggests that the second half hour follows, but on a different channel. This is beyond me, but do watch on Tuesday. It’ll be good.
Caroline will be appearing on Blue Peter tomorrow 3rd May to talk about the series, and on Radio 4 on 13th May at 19.30 in Go4It. After all that exposure Caroline will be really famous, and we can only hope she won’t forget her oldest and worsest fans.
There will also be some sort of interactive games on the BBC website that Caroline has written, which apparently is a first. Being old I don’t understand games very well, but I’m sure they will be fun.

How exciting - I hope we get it here in the US! But is it going to be kids? Those people look like adults - or at least college students.

Yes, it will be children. Though the BBC have decided to make them a couple of years older in the film, so more like 13, or so. The photo on the blog was sent to me by Caroline and that’s her as the slave in the background. It’s on the Blue Peter set, so it had their presenters (adults) playing Romans for the day.
