Bettany Hughes: Treasures of the World

She's in Bodrum in this, the first of a new series.

I'm a fan of her. She makes interesting, but not inaccessible, history documentaries. I'm expecting that these will be to her usual standard.

It’s been on a few weeks now. The Turkey episode was delayed due to the earthquake. There’s a few episodes on the catch up app.

Thanks, I'll look out for it.

I only spotted it because it came up as new on my TV guide.

I've been watching the Middle East series and enjoying it. Also just read her book about Venus and Aphrodite which is a very interesting concise history of the goddess through a variety of art and literature from the regions she and related dieties were worshipped.
