1066 and all that.

British TV, Channel 4, has produced a film epic of "1066: The battle for Middle Earth." Judging from the trailer, it may be very good. It attempts to tell the story from the POV of some of the less important participants.

now if I could just figure out how to get Channel 4.

Update: members of Mediev-L who have now seen it tore it to shreds. The costumes were not accurate, and the less said about the 'medieval' fighting styles the better. Oh well. At least it sounded promising.
