This series might be more political correct according to some but that's whats wrong with it.Jews in the 12th century were discriminated you may not like it but that was the case then.In this version Prince John himself is depicted as a killer.Even if he ever had part in a murder he ordered it and did none himself.He did not have to.A love affair between Ivanhoe and Rebecca would be unrealistic.Same with tintin in Africa you can read that comic and this book without a problem if you remember that is how the sentiment was in those days.Don't try to turn it in a modern version which is political correct.The BBC has messed up a lot of historical series in that way lately.I would like a new version that is more according to the book.And btw i doubt Sir Walter Scott was antisemitic and i certainly am not.
