BBC Video series 'Heroes and Villains' aka. 'Warriors'

posted 11 years ago by Marc-Kupper

BBC's "Heroes and Villains" (2007-2008) is a TV series that may be of interest to those that liked "Warriors" (2008). It's on IMDB at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1441589/

Season 1, Episode 1: Napoleon
Season 1, Episode 2: Attila the Hun
Season 1, Episode 3: Spartacus
Season 1, Episode 4: Cortes
Season 1, Episode 5: Richard the Lionheart
Season 1, Episode 6: Shogun

In 2009 BBC Video released this in the USA as "Warriors." I spotted it at a local public library and initially thought it was the "Warriors" TV series as the disc jackets and media do not mention the "Heroes and Villains" title.

Each of the "Heroes and Villains" episodes is a TV movie / historical documentary. I have not seen "Warriors" and so can't compare the two. It appears from the IMDB forum comments that "Warriors" focuses on fighting styles. "Heroes and Villains" focuses on personality and a bit on leadership styles.
