I am in the UK and I can confirm that the link to Michael Wood's programme on Beowulf is indeed good. I can't confirm that the programme itself is good, but I intend to watch it to find out.
ReplyDeleteThere must be a way to use a proxy IP address from the States to watch these on BBC iPlayer.
ReplyDeleteYou can read my review of Michael Wood on Beowulf at my blog, here:

Jonathan Jarrett discusses Dr. Alice Rio's work on economic change in early medieval Ireland.
ReplyDeleteI don't, I'm afraid: I discuss Wendy Davies's work on economic change in early medieval Ireland, which was the last in a seminar series that Alice Rio organised. Sorry if that wasn't clear, and thankyou for the link.
Tenthmedieval (Jonathan),
ReplyDeleteAs you can see, holding a PhD in English doesn't necessarily mean I can read. Looking back again, it seems clear. Duh to me.
Hello good day to you!
ReplyDeleteI’ve read your blog and find it very much interesting. Can you do me a favor? Can I ask you to post my link in your blogroll/sidebar? In return with that I’ll write an article for you which are related to your blog. In this way, we both can benefit since there would probably more visitors in your blog and mine as well. It would be my pleasure if you will accept my request. Thanks in advance!
