Hadrian

Hadrian is a Bafta Cymru-winning 2008 BBC Television documentary film in which popular British historian Dan Snow follows the travels of the Roman Emperor Hadrian. Production The film was produced by BBC Wales to tie in with the exhibition Hadrian: Empire and Conflict at the British Museum. Reception Reviews Sam Wollaston writing in The Guardian describes the film as, a breathless, whistle-stop tour of the Roman Empire, and complimented Snow for having, contagious bounding enthusiasm, a real passion for his subject, as well as the authority and gravitas to make you sit up and listen, but he is however critical of the cameraman's dizzying, habit of circling presenters, and the presenter's, prancing around in the desert, wearing a silk-scarf in the style of, The English Patient or Indiana Jones.
