, would be devoted to the art of the Barbarians and the mumslis.No harm in that (although most early muslim art of any value, such as the Dome of the Rock, was probably made by Christian Greeks); what grated was the way in which Januszcak prepared us for the stars of his third episode about the joyous and innovative religion, islam, which did so much to light up the dark ages.I generally don't mind Januszczak, who is a more informative presenter than most (although he clearly knows damn all about the Roman Empire), but I can't imagine any other religion getting quite such a bizarrely oleaginous and self-evidently inappropriate introduction. 8 likes
