Re: should i get rome?

Cracking show which makes history fun...very much tongue in cheek. Series two coming up this year on the BBC, but sadly the Beeb and HBO are not going to make a third "because of cost". I"m surprised it has not been repeated yet or made an appearance on the BBC HD channel(as it was made in HD!)
