listened to this since it's all there. it's exactly what you'd expect for a Radio 4 drama.
yes "the old ways" are a bit of a plot point ("don't you remember the cakes for Eostre? the winter sacrifice?"), but it tells an imagined story in 45 minutes about the making of Bayeux Tapestry. it's fine.
I am managing my expectations.
