Buttery Biscuit Baz I remember #PhilipMackie 's 'The Cleopatras' quite well, but those recollections are dominated by the OTT makeup, minimalist sets, embryonic video effects, and the funky theme. And Richard Griffiths. Everyone has reinvented the Cleopatra with the Asp for their own purposes....
Buttery Biscuit Baz Am a great fan of #philipmackie & #ancienthistory so will rewatch one day lifespan permitting. It's what should on #BritBox ... then maybe so
someone might watch it & we would be spared the adverts
