There was an interview on 't radioweb tonight.
With the woman from Hadrian's Wall Heritage tonight. She basically told them that bits of the book (and the script) were inaccurate and told Hollywood to hoof certain bits.

Except health and safety vetoed the 'Romans didn't have stirrups' bit.

the 'being sick on your dad's slippers' thing me and Jeff won't leave be comes from this. As if that's not enough of a selling point there's also great footage of late 70s London and some incredible music.


EDIT shit he's sick on his mum's slippers, not his dad's. It's at 9:10. In my defence it's been years since I watched it.

Bits of a children's adventure book were inaccurate?
