Describing the series as “Anglo-centric”, broadcaster and historian Alastair Moffat went on to say:

The BBC seems to have ignored 3,000 years. It’s a pity to let the Romans tell the story of Scotland; couldn’t the Scots have told it?

The series, produced at a cost of £2m, begins with the defeat of the Picts by Roman general Agricola in AD 84. The first episode will be shown on 9th November at 9pm on BBC 1.

More information on the series — and the rest of the BBC’s cross-media initiative titled “Scotland’s History” — can be found at the Scotland’s History microsite.
