    Half way through the first part. It's a 2 part mini series on Sky Atlantic. Second part is on tonight at 9.

    It's very very good.

    Nothing really happens and it's very depressing. I liked it.

    She's a maths teacher, very dry humour. Her man's a pharmacist. It's about their lives in the small town they live in.

    Like Mick said, not a lot happens but it's very good.

    Excellent stuff.

    Any **** wants to give it a bash just use my Netflix account.

    Realistic portrayal of Polo's life? Or more American pish for ****s with low IQs and short attention spans?

    Neither really.

    The portrayal of Polo ends with the name. The rest is VERY loosely based on him.

    As for being for ****s with short attention spans, it has a bit of depth to it. The politics isn't something you'll really grasp unless you've read up on Khublai Khan (I have - it was thrilling). Good bit of shagging in it too.

    I urge you to watch it.

    It's better than the regular Dinner Date but I noticed they're doing a Celebrity version over the festive period. This could well trump Marco Polo as the 'celebrity' in question is Made In Chealsea's Hugo Taylor <swoon>

    I did read that (got a signed copy) but wouldn't trust it too much. For one there is a lot probably altered/lost in the translation to English, and these great leaders of the past are known for giving exaggerated accounts in order to make themselves look better (even Caesar).
