The super organised Caroline Lawrence has sent me these links, with a special hello to readers outside the UK.
The trailer for the television series can be found on YouTube. What would we do without it?
Last Sunday’s Go4It on Radio 4 is available until the end of the week. Very interesting, so hurry before it disappears.
For the games players try the CBBC website that offers the interactive games Caroline helped write. They also have a free audiobook of The Thieves of Ostia, which is the first Roman mystery that barely gets a mention in the television series.
And what do people think now that the first two episodes have been broadcast? Daughter and I love them. They are well done, considering that an hour per book is incredibly little time. What has to be in there is there, and it’s very attractive.

Thanks, Bookwitch! Sorry to make you the go-between, but have you heard of any plan for Roman Mysteries to broadcast in the US?
What do you and your kids think of the shows?

I think Caroline is only waiting to find out who will broadcast the series and when. If it does well here, I assume others will want it. Caroline does updates on her website, see link on the left.
My daughter and I have really enjoyed the first two. They are compact, and it would have been nice to have longer per book. For those who watch tv first and read the books after, there should be a nice surprise that they get so much more. There is a good feel to the film and the characters nearly all feel just right.
