There was another programme on last night in the "Lost Worlds" series (the same one as the Persepolis programme last week). This time it was about Alexandria (although I think it was about some Roman, rather than Hellenistic, remains.Did anyone see it... and if so, was it any good? I did video it but I am so busy at the moment I need to know if it's worth trying to find the time to watch it!All the bestMarcus

Yes
It was very good - even better than the Persepolis programme.

I managed to find the time to watch it in the end last night and I think I agree with you. I loved the bit where they took the cast of the inscription from the underwater stone!What irritated me a bit (as it did with the Persepolis programme) was the way that they kept repeating what was going on - clearly aimed at the attention deficient audience! Still, it's the Etruscans next week, whom I know absolutely nothing about - so that should be fun.All the bestMarcus
