Featured review
Discovering King Tut
I originally thought this was a documentary series, about ancient Egypt, which I would have been happy to watch, but to my disappointment it turned out to be a dramatic recreation (with voiceover). However I watched it anyway, the first episode was a bit boring at first, and I was thinking of switching off, but persevered with it, I'm glad I did.
The first two episodes (to which this review is about), are about Howard Carter's search for the tomb of Tutankhamun, with support from Lord Carnarvon, and its discovery, and it turned out to be excellent, very realistic, and the acting was great, the voiceover from Andrew Sachs was good as well. The actors are not well known, the most famous being Laurence Fox, who was only in the first episode, but they were really good, the scenes were spot on, and it was well made, the music was not over dramatic, which can sometimes ruin a good film, but its ok here. Also the attitudes of the period it was supposed to be in was spot on. Well done.
8 out of 10 for this.
