The Meteoric Rise Of Julius Caesar | Tony Robinson's Romans | Odyssey

[@kierasthoughts2480]

The music always overpowers this man's documentaries.

[@tedmounsteven621]

Thanks for the tip! I stopped watching when he started slicing up that almost raw meat!

[@6789uiop]

Sound engineer failure for sure. The producer should have caught how hot the background music was in the mis. *BACKGROUND* music.

[@BertLaverman]

When Mr Robinson's voice is "voice-over" with music, it's very difficult to hear. Needs a re-dub.

[@scienceed5031]

music is just way too loud

[@Storbang]

I have to agree

[@KatieB33]

Thanks I won’t continue watching.

[@BertLaverman]

@@KatieB33 Actually, I did, and liked the story, but it _is_ annoying.

[@KatieB33]

@@BertLaverman thank you 🙏

[@brandonaldaymachuse6669]

OK...I can't be the only one disturbed by the image of extremely rare (read: raw) meat being grounded (not sliced)

[@noahcable3061]

I came to the comments for this one ☝️ lol

[@felonious_c]

Indeed 🤢

[@katdoe192]

that's the best way to eat it yummy!

That’s how I prefer a steak

😅😅

[@danore7066]

I rather they had no music enjoyed the Documentary on Julis Caesar thank you

[@hungrysoles]

Another fine series by Sir Tony. I'll be sure to watch much of it. Next time turn down the volume of the background music. It was hard yo hear his wonderful commentary .and his refreshing perspective.

[@TheLs1man]

Great info but the sound was messed up the music was loud the narrator voice was turned down to far and the guests was turned up way too loud thanks I like the presentation and info

[@SandyRiverBlue]

The music on this is loud and obnoxious. MacGyver wants its soundtrack back.

[@stigrynning]

You're right. It's not just the volume.

[@karnak327]

For those who can't hear the host's voiceover, try activating subtitles. Even though they're automatic, most of them are in sync with the speech.

[@nicd7618]

Always nice to start a documentary show eating a piece of meat that's still mooing.

[@eeccee11]

Very stabby...

Has anyone mentioned the sound? :) or the meat. Just checking. Pretty interesting. Tony is fab as always.

[@armyofninjas9055]

A fascinating story. Thanks for the documentaries.

[@janethayes5941]

Why didn't they teach interesting history like this when I was at school....

[@josephmountford2292]

They did

[@midwestmusic1909]

Haha they did but for some reason it just didn't seem as interesting then. Perhaps because it wasn't an "option" to learn it? 😂

[@janethayes5941]

@@josephmountford2292 um not at my school they didn't.

[@Ang3lsMum]

because schools just teach what socieety deems correct, even if it's false

[@sarahdobinson6987]

as someone with hearing loss using hearing aids I find background music difficult to deal with. As usual the vocal track is too low and needs to be boosted above the music. Afterall we are not coming to this for the music but for the narration!

[@marcusroele]

WHAT?! WHAT DID YOU SAY?! THE MUSIC IS TOO LOUD! HELLO? CAN YOU HEAR ME OVER THE FREAKING MUSIC?!?! ANYONE?!

[@andremaines]

Bro that steak is rawwwww

[@peterboyer9622]

You’re a millennial. This video is way above your head.

[@galenstevenson918]

music is too loud! I couldn't even hear the narrator. I don't watch docs for the background music. I want to hear the info not the drama.

[@daispy101]

@Odyssey: drop the music soundtrack. It's badly mixed versus the commentary. What might be an interesting video is ruin because the narrator is constantly drowned out.

[@mrmainlobster]

The sound is abysmal. Very hard to hear. Thanks anyway.

[@Yali_]

Do you know what will really convince me to watch this Roman history documentary? Tacky techno music! Said no one ever.

[@josephmountford2292]

That steak lol

[@jmace2424]

Anyone who lays all the blame at Caesar’s door has never even heard of Marius or Sulla.

[@andrewbartlett5023]

soundtrack overwhelmes the narration - too frustrating to continue watching

[@rezamkia2338]

Wonderful

[@stigrynning]

The background music is deafening the speech. How stupid is that?

[@bill9989]

Yep. I had to bail. It's a shame because it's probably a good documentary.

[@stigrynning]

@sneksnekitsasnek I don't think so, but anyway, that's not by choice like the volume of the music.

[@Jazzguitarteacher]

Music far too loud.

[@ritchski1]

this documentary is raw

[@wendysheets1916]

I see what you did there!! LOL Its been a year since you wrote your comment... but I imagine you wrote it because of the first min of this show...LOL I agree... it was a very raw... lol

[@Kardashev1]

Like listening to an episode of Miami Vice at the same time as a documentary.

thanks

[@ginko1548]

why is the music so loud? i can barley watch this, might even stop soon. i almost cant understand a single word while the music is close to bursting my eardrums...are all your videos produced like this?

[@sartainja]

Only Baldrick could host a documentary about the life of the king of “cunning plans” - Julius Caesar.

[@andreweh4]

Sound management is terrible.

[@jmace2424]

Certain historians: Caesar was ruthless and bloodthirsty. Actual Caesar: Shows mercy to his enemies rather than proscribing them like his predecessors. Result: 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪

[@sohara....]

Everything Julius Caesar did was strategic. He butchered the pirates he'd played games with while being held hostage. Reputation no one kidnaps Julius Caesar He stole vast amounts from the tribes of modern France and Germany ... and carried out gross acts of mutilation on the ancient Gauls. Strategy: they'll be alive but unable too fight effectively. He divorced his wife for infidelity although she hadn't been unfaithful - and everyone knew she hadn't, although there wss a slight shadow on her. Reputation again. In one of his own books, he said he'd killed a million people.

He publicly forgave enemies, particularly those who came from noble families of Rome. Strategy: they're more likely to concede defeat if they'll stay alive - and clemency does make sense for politics. In one of his own books, he said he'd killed a million people.

[@mainstreet3023]

I loved the ‘artistic’ renderings of flailing limbs and flashing soldiers. Usually in these videos it’s stock, mock battle scenes with unrealistic, wooden ‘soldiers’. Can you actually just stroll through those magnificent Roman museums like that? 😳

[@AnnieVanAuken]

The voice is too loud for me to hear the music clearly.

[@JiminPalmSprings]

Starting with the cutting of the raw steak was absolutely disgusting… What a ham fisted rookie start to a documentary… I mean really using a sharp knife and a bloody steak as a metaphor for the assassination?… What a rookie move…I also quickly gave up after I realized the music in background noise completely made it hard to understand what the narrator is saying…

[@aarons6935]

Mmk Mr "i'm going to use the word rookie multiple times because im a professional".

[@ambershah5741]

the fact that he can talk about murder while eating rare steak with a straight face baffles me

[@marypasco2213]

He IS an Actor!

[@jmace2424]

Caesar tried to do what Gaius and Tiberius Gracchus tried to do, give land to the homeless and disenfranchised, with the same result from the landed class.

[@SS33333]

At some places your background score overshadows the commentary. Frustating to miss the lines in between. 🙏🏻

[@6789uiop]

I use Closed Captions because the background music is too loud.

[@jackbed5080]

Music too loud on the voice.

[@sendthis]

You've just copied this and overdubbed loud music on to it. Three commercials within 12 minutes is a waste of time.

Can't believe that Baldrick is doing a voice over for a Roman documentary 😂

[@hakanolsson399]

Lose the music

[@mamum2007]

The 'background?' music is so loud the narration is impossible to follow! Stopped watching 1/2 way through!

[@lelostimulus9995]

Quit yer itchin

[@dianebarrett9714]

Can’t hear him. Couldn’t watch it with changes of volume between music and speakers and narrator’s soft voice! 😢

[@bigbensarrowheadchannel2739]

Not sure why they decided to put Tony on the bed when describing Caesars sex life. That was really weird and awkward.

[@grabman1927]

Wasn't this ripped from TimeLine?

[@jbkabss]

Background noise and music was disappointing

[@couttsw]

Music too loud, seems like trying to defeat the google copyright engine. Gotta wonder if channel 4 approved of the stealing and rebroadcast of their content.

[@sheripacori2097]

No music please. Spoils all the good work put into this production.

[@TheRattleSnake3145]

They forgot to cook the steak.

[@shadowmihaiu]

Love the story of Caesar and Tony Robinson's shows. BUT this one is inaccurate in a lot of aspects.

[@bethbartlett5692]

Rome usually is incorrect as they wrote their own story, aka, propaganda ...

[@sohara....]

Inaccurate? Please give me an example Thanks

[@antoniofarinaccio541]

This is a badly made documentary. The sound is so bad, I wander about the validity of it.

[@kalle911]

Upon hearing this voiceover I can't help but think that perhaps Caesar had a cunning plan or two. also, screw this audio.

[@MP-hh3lo]

You should ask for your money back.

[@cej4673]

[@morecowbell235]

Almost unwatchable. The sound and narration are a disaster, with music drowning out the narration and the narration volume far too low.

[@aes9154]

[@debhurd8898]

It's always the same with the music on these videos. I give up. I think " maybe this one will be different." it never is. So annoying and unnecessary.

[@dannusmk1578]

Music drowns narrative. Terrible production. Unable to listen with delight.

[@vilemonkey]

I gave this documentary a dislike solely because the music drowned out the commentary. Please do this one over again.

[@sohara....]

Yes

[@johnk6123]

The Romans listened to Beck?

[@hinatahyuga9311]

I mean i dont blame the senators for there anger and hate towards caesar. Cause caesar went against them and there orders and he crossed the rubicon and declared war on rome he also took away there power over rome that the senators had been in power that had lasted over the republic since 509b.c when it was first established cause of Roman power in the hands of one man would've destroyed rome but he declared himself dictator for life King emperor and god but i believe it was also Gaul that also made them hate caesar even more cause Gaul not only was a ally and Rome provence but Gaul also payed tribute to rome and the Senators thought that by killing Caesar everything would go back to normal but it completely did the opposite cause caesars death practically did more damage and destruction than good cause it completely ripped the Roman Republic apart but the best greatest achievement that rose out of the Ashes was Octavian who'll go down in our history as one of the greatest people in history who changed Rome drastically but also establish one of the most flourishing and influential and most powerful and long lasting Empires in history and who'll Rule Rome as her first Emperor

[@asiaking9422]

Caesar married Cleopatra in the Egyptian manner (although this marriage was not recognised in Rome as he was already married and it was not legal for a Roman citizen to marry a foreigner. Do you read the bible?

[@loricarter2394]

Music is too loud on the voice-over bits, but I have to say that at least the steak in the beginning looked pretty good lol

Why did they hate Caesar so much? Maybe because he ate his steak raw?

If Julius Caesar was to write down his date of birth and the date he died what would he write? And how old would he say he was?The only thing I get from google is the ides of march.
