Good sure this is getting hard for you just. The structure we want to know what's not that's going. To have you heard about this new t.v. Series Britannia a brand new female leave British drama at setting a 43 d. Starring Annabel shrewdly alongside David Morrissey Mackenzie Crook and Zoe want to make it certainly different Annabel is with us now and one of entertainment industry's most highly regarded historical advisors Jonathan Stampa also how you both today very well good thank you very good man exactly I know the weather has not being kind so far I am already drenched now Annabel we talk about the fact that you play I hope I pronounce this correctly Ameena That is correct Yes So tell us about this drama series Britannia which is said of the time period not often explored now you it hasn't been for a while anyway and certainly not in the way I think jazz but what has explored it and yeah it's when it's a it's a very energetic quite a salvage world it's $43.00 a day and it centers around the Romans invading Britain and. Britain has it war with itself there are lots of different tribes with different beliefs and different gods so there's a big culture clash between the tribes and the Romans. So we're fighting month that month ourselves I'm a count the enemy to the Romans and then there's a druid element to the story as well and the Druids were feared by most at the time they were the direct mouthpiece from the gods so there's a real belief that the gods decide our fate and the Druids deliver the messages from the gods to mortals real melting pot they're allowed to bring Jonathan in now so did all of this really happen did all of these different parts of configurations and religions really exist to an extent as the book that's the boring onset I don't know do you know there's a book by a German writer called German American writer called Corp Kurt Vonnegut he wrote a book called Slaughterhouse 5 so I'm getting somewhere with this I promise is it's going somewhere anyway it's about a true event about the fire bombing of Dresden actually in one $1045.00 but it has one of the most memorable opening lines in literature I think which is all this happened more or less I think that would cover the sort of historical element of of Britannia all this happened more or less yet is based on real events there were 4 Roman legions who came they came with a whole lot of exhilarates olders maybe $40000.00 men in total there were a lot of warring Celtic tribes they were always at each other's throats there probably were a group of people called Druids but inevitably and correctly Jess and Tom Butterworth the writers have taken that material and they've turned it into something that is fired by their imaginations and they've not been involved down let's put it this way by historical nit picker e in the process the better the better for a. The better for I think there are lots of different ways of doing historical drama and I'm all if you want to do it for trying to dot I's and cross T.'s That's right you know doing the detail right if you let imaginative reign free reign go in the way that. Yes and Tom have you can combine or a different route at another source of truth an emotional truth about a time and so I heartily thought really completely excitedly applaud what they've done with this from wearing my historical hat you know I think there are some people who you know would be self confessedly pedantic and go Well you know I don't really think that they did this or they didn't you know they didn't have any rooms in Britain until the 2nd century a.d. And real writing letters and complain that well I think there will be plenty of them I've had a few of them in my time I can tell you on other shows but I think at the same time as I respect that desire for accuracy I think in this case you need to just go with it you've just got to go with it or I'm so interested in talking about basically the military tactics of back in the day that Jonathan stamp the most highly regarded historical advisor for the entertainment industry the Sony we have on right now we're going to talk a little bit more after this track and out of Bell is with me as well fee's an actor from the new t.v. Series Britannia. Was his radio b.f. B.s. We're talking here about t.v. And how accurate historical television programs actually were and of a fairly A's in the t.v. Series pretend along side one of the entertainment industry's most highly regarded historical advisors Jonathan stamp Jonathan one of the things that our listeners are always fascinated by is the tactics of war when there's fighting scenes in hair the military tactics are they are they spot on that they get that right I think to an extent I mean one of the interesting things about the clash of cultures that you've got here between the Roman war machine and the machines are really good word for it because of its incredible honed discipline is that it came up against a group that force in a calm Pollie a different way Celtic fighting was individualistic it was all about show and bravado and the everybody knew that the initial Celt. Sort of a battle was going to be utterly terrifying That's the bit you had to survive if you could survive the 1st almost floor when they came in you often completely naked covered in paint but we were brandishing these gigantic cutting swords and the fun screaming their heads off blind drunk you know it was pretty intimidating but if you could hold the line there everybody knew that in fighting the Celts there came a point when they hadn't broken you with that initial assault when they started to lose their marbles and they were no longer confident in victory and and sort of Celtic the misery of Celtic defeat is famous is that you do you for your of Celtic victory if you like stick with Celtic feel on a bell What was it like to play a Celtic Warrior Princess with 2 Us ones and dangerous ambition it was a handful having 2 husbands very excited because I did have to do some fights training which almost never happens like when I went to drama school and actually learn how to sword fight and then never used again I or maybe once he used it in I wanted him it's my stream and have to do a sword fight so it was a really amazing unique thing for me to do I had to horse ride I went to the Czech Republic and I had a proper fight test so it was really enjoyable for me about this world is that she's incredibly physical and all the characters are particularly the way Jess is written the scripts the characters a bold they don't follow the role they're in purrfect And that's really fun to play having 2 husbands Yeah I mean my my character's not particularly press either of her husbands she likes to play chess with them and both of them come up short she's faced ambitious So yeah they really that they're both a bit sick of her and quite early on. Love it Ok Annabel and Jonathan it's been such a pleasure speaking with you thank you very much for your time and good luck with Britannia or other projects thank you very much ally and Brittania is coming to p f b s t v in the spring.
