Horatio

Watching an episode of the A&E Horatio Hornblower series on the Roku Channel. The show was first aired in 1999 and the series is decently done.
Why did A&E abandon such programming?
-
I dunno.
The Lost Battalion was another well-done movie on A&E at about that same time.
Historical dramas would seem to be programming that would wear well and be put back into the line-up periodically, thus spreading out the cost...

I’m pretty sure that was made by ITV in the UK rather than A&E. I don’t know what the Brits charge for their stuff but they still play uk series elsewhere.
I was only joking

Yes it was an ITV production. I recall reading somewhere that it was cancelled or, at least postponed, owing to production costs. The lead actor though was interested in reviving it on the big screen.
