NEW DRAMA
Troy: Fall of a City
SATURDAY / BBC1 / 9.10PM
Many of us will be familiar with the ancient tale of Troy, a gripping mix of romance and betrayal which takes in mysterious gods, ferocious battles, a siege, and, of course, the giant wooden horse used for a monumental deception.
Now an ambitious eight-part drama, penned by David Farr (The Night Manager, McMafia), is giving new life to the legend, supported by a stellar cast that includes David Threlfall, (Shameless), Frances O’Connor (Mr Selfridge, The Missing) and Jonas Armstrong (Robin Hood).
