Me, I’ve always been much more into the Romans.

I finally understand the difference between Upper and Lower Egypt, and the three different kingdoms, thanks to the captivatingly passionate professor who has to shade her pasty Brit skin from the Egyptian sun with an umbrella employed for its proper purpose. Last week we started watching a cool BBC documentary called ‘Immortal Egypt’ which has made ancient Egypt a lot clearer to me than it has ever been. Is slowly making her way through an Older Fiction ‘autobiography’ of Cleopatra from the library, saying names like Berenice and Ptolomy in her own 8-year old way. Often dances to their Lady Gaga-themed Rah-Rah-Cleopatra song. Adores the Egyptians in Horrible Histories. The wonderfully barrel-chested Gerard Depardieu/Obelix voiced by an empty US teenage voice just sounds weird.īut my 8 year-old thinks it’s ‘great’. The fact that the fine comic French actors are over-dubbed with dry American voices close mic-ed in a dull/dead studio certainly doesn’t help. Maybe it’s because I’m not French, or because it’s live action (filled with seemingly-hammy French actors) that it seems a bit flat. But I must say it seems to lack the magic of the original Goscinny and Uderzo books. I recently turned her on to the Asterix books I loved as a child, so I thought it might be fun to see the film.
She plucked it from the plethora available, avoiding the usual Simpsons or the good/awful Grammy performances we’ve been making our way through. I’m watching Mission Cleopatra with my 8 year-old daughter.
