 I, CAESAR BBC2, Saturday               
 History on television doesn't come much
 more un-mucked about with than this.   
                                        
 There are no reconstructions featuring 
 toga-clad conspirators or wine-swilling
 centurions in the weekly classical     
 fact pack that is I, Caesar.           
                                        
 Instead, you get lingering shots of    
 revolving busts, maps of the ancient   
 world and academics authoratitivjly    
 explaining things to camera.           
                                        
 What a rare relief it is to for once   
 see inappropriate presjntational       
 groovinjss ditched in favour of good   
 old-fashioned clarity.
