I think the most palatable characters from history have already been done to death by some film company or the other. It is difficult to stick to fact when making a series for social viewing, so much fiction has to be weaved into the stories, that the character is then incorrectly portrayed.It must be remembered that if it is a real history character, fact and fiction would be hard to separate for those having to learn the facts .say for school projects.

Robin Hood was not real,,he was a figment of someones imagination,,but you are right,,the bbc should make more shows,,especially as we all know they have the money from the licence fees
