Always felt that 1971’s The Eagle Has Landed is pretty poor; watching it again on #BBCTwo and it still feels like a mess.
I’m not always a fan of remakes but I’d be interested in what they could do with it now; plus Robert Harris’ sequel. Watch it here if you must: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b...

Had the new @simon-scarrow.bsky.social (Tyrant of Rome) for Christmas but I’ve still got plenty of reading to do of the Eagle series before reading that one; and to accompany it, a ‘Chalky’s Bite’ Belgium beer from Sharps brewery and Rick Stein.
