Time Commanders Returning To BBC
It seems another cult BBC show is returning: Time Commanders!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/showsandtours/t...ime_commanders Pleased to hear this, always liked TC: a very original programme that mixed history, strategy, live action and digital simulation really well. |

The graphics and software should all have improved in the intervening time period.
Creative Assembly have done good games since then. I think it'll see a move out of Roman warfar and we could see re-fights of Waterloo maybe. By the looks of things it'll pit two teams of three up against each other as well! |

Good to hear.
Seems like the show is being done slightly differently this time around, with two teams of three facing each other, as well as the computer. Agree that I hope the age of warfare advances (I think the furthest they went to in the original was 1066) since the capabilities are certainly there. Wonder who the BBC have lined up as presenter - a populist choice, like Richard Hammond, or a proper history geek. |

didnt care for it first time around, that being said we live in an age where people making millions playing games on YouTube, so maybe this is an idea whose time has come

It looks like it, unfortunately. Surely they could have found someone more suitable.
Then again, Chris Evans was a big fan of cars, so... (Also, whens' the show starting?) |

Yeah Aryeh is now Lynette after a gender reassignment a few years back. Looks from the trailer that this series maybe based around Napoleon Total War, which is a good game and robust engine, but quite old now (2010).
