I've said it before but i think it's worth repeating most child actors are absolutely terrible but i think the wee boy who plays Bjorn is really good.

Haha yes, and plenty of room to explore. Young Bjorn was wonderful, can't imagine the trouble he will cause in the future!

I remember after watching series one i was really worried that series two wouldn't be as good. Often there can be a massive drop off in quality.....there's no need to worry

I was watching some interviews with the main cast and they were saying because they have history and the sagas as the source it's not like they are relying on one person's imagination....

It is isn't it? you have time to pick up all sorts of wee details.....i'm really enjoying the lighting i know it sounds weird but it's beautifully lit. It's so hard to film in low light/candle situations and get any detail at all but the DP has done an amazing job...just looking at any frame and it's exquisite as if it has been painted by an old master.

also hahahhahahaha at your phone response

I feel guilty in here today. Like I have been spying on you through the window all afternoon.

BIB That is one of my problems with this sort of drama, as hinted at a few pages back . Whenever they make drama in any epoch beffore the mid medival the lighting goes out of the window. I know they had no electricity but that means I have to try and figure the action out in the gloom with very little contrast. It is gloomy and hard to see.

Then the subject matter tends to be dark too.

spy away!!

That's the thing with the lighting in this programme i was applauding. it is exquisite. It's not remotely gloomy or muddy, it looks more like a caravaggio painting!!! the detail is incredible in every frame. the leaps in technology with digital cameras such as the Alexa which performs beyond that which was possibly previously in low light, have given them this amazing palette and creativity to play with. For example you still see individual stitches on woven fabric no chance seeing that on some shitty bbc serial.

It's not remotely like the shitty quality of bbc or itv lighting camerawork you see on things like Beowulf, The Last Kingdom or even Poldark, the quality on those programmes is terrible comparatively. It's a thing of beauty.

Sounds nice! I just had pasta with bolognese [one from the freezer I had made previously] with broccoli, followed by an invented pudding of an orange chopped up with blueberries, with a dollop of yogurt and er................marmalade

I'm just shamefully addicted to marmalade

Does it make you parp? Broccoli, not marmalade

do you have a favourite marmalade?

sadly since i had lots of bits removed internally my system can't cope with brassicas (thus my death defying 3 sprout treat at christmas ) there's quite a lot of food i loved that my system can't cope with now because of the amount of internal damage.

that's why it's so weird i can eat curry with no problems
i take joy in the completely weird randomness of it all. Can imagine teenagers al over the country being devastated at being forced to eat curry instead of sprouts and cabbage can you hear their sobs?
