If you missed the series which aired on Channel 5 last November, (Sarah-Jane Potts appeared in the episode 'The Downfall of Nero'), Eight Days That Made Rome is available to buy as a DVD from Amazon, or for digital download as an individual episode from UK iTunes. 

An interesting article about making the Channel 5 series Eight Days That Made Rome has been shared on the Broadcast website, along with this great photo of Joseph Millson behind the scenes. Catch up with Joseph's Spartacus the Revolt episode on my5.tv if you missed it. 

We had just three days allocated to shoot the drama for each episode. Producing contemporary drama in a limited setting in this timeframe could be daunting enough. Throw in the additional requirements of a historical series (costumes, props, animals, specialist locations and so on) and the scale of the challenge quickly grows.

Don't miss Joseph Millson as Spartacus in tonight's episode of Eight Days That Made Rome - on Channel 5 at 9pm! For more background reading, there is an interview with presenter Bettany Hughes about the series. 

October Films has shared a new previoew video for 8 Days That Made Rome, which includes new glimpses of Joseph as Spartacus and Sarah-Jane Potts as Agrippina. Joseph's episode airs next Friday, 3rd November on Channel 5. Sarah-Jane will appear in episode 6.
