You couldn't make it up dept. no.55: beyond imagination

BBC News 13.00, 14.02.2007

I swear I heard the following sentence drip from the anchorwoman's pearly pink lips:
"Cleopatra is remembered as a raving beauty who made Caesar fall in love with her and brought down the Roman Empire..."

My head hurts.

In my experience, the BBC isn't really any better than PBS, or the History Channel. They're reasonably spot-on in most things, but occasionally some aweful, gross fallacy will sneak it's way in.

*shrug*. It's public TV. What do you want?

Anyways, the BBC doesn't have Dogfights: The Last Gunfighters.
