- I know that a few clips stutter. I apologize for that. I think I got every time he spoke in here, but in my notes I didn't see any for season 2 episodes 5 and 6. Let me know if I missed any. I just put up a review of the show if you're interested.

This guy survived 3 revolutions and still kept his job 😆
And talked against every leader at one point or another.
@@aleksapetrovic6519 Not so much as speaking ill of every leader as opposed to simply reading the news and passing on statements from all parties.
well he is pretty good at it
"WE WON!"
"How do we tell the people?"
- all looks at the fat guy -
@@szylaj fat man - dances
"Groups of three men" *looks back nervously*
That was so well done :)
He's like "why am I still doing this if nobody is allowed outside?" 😂😂😂
“Okay we’re done let’s get the hades out of here!”
“No gaming!”
SMH, Gamers have always been oppressed!
Next thing he read will be: "The censorship upon the usage of gamer words will take effect immediately!"
Amen
I love how the guild of millers is Romes “Raid shadow legends”
No. The Guild of Millers produce a useful and necessary product. Raid Shadow Legends is a scam for forcing gambling onto minors, and for evading gambling laws.
KEK!
Ugh

It was called the _twitteus_ back then.
I'd be a rich man if I had a denari for every time he says "Gaius Julius Caesar".

During the good seasons of GoT I hoped in vain that this man star as Lord Wyman Manderly.
Never thought of that before, Thad be God tier casting I'd love to hear him do the North remembers monologue
Right? And this isn't even where I know him from. The moment I finished reading His scenes, I thought "Baron Harkonnen should play this part in the series".
Years ago, I had a chronic case of Longinus....it was awful. But thankfully, it didn't turn into the dreaded Beer Nuts.
YES. He would have had that surety in his gaze, controlled anger in his voice, and pure fury in his chins. I want to hear him utter the words "This mummer's farce."
Well said!
The first time I saw Ian McNeice "HBO's Rome Newsreader" was in Ace Ventura in 1995 and I am just amazed he is still alive after seeing him on Rome. He looks 300 pounds at minimum. That he even made it 15 more years since Rome ended amazes me.
I know I saw him as a slave owner in a Spartacus show from 2004. In many ways his character from that would have fit well into this show since he was a Roman who was into slaves.
@freebeerfordworkers And Baron Vladimir Harkonnen if the SciFi Channel miniseries of Dune/Children of Dune 👍
Being fat isn't actually a death sentence as is commonly believed. Most fat people live a full lifespan or very close to it. Only the extremely heavy (like, 600, 700 pounds) face a significantly shorter lifespan, and even that only averages about 10 or 15 years at the very worst. When fat people die noticeably younger, it is almost always due to either drug abuse or unrelated health problems (like heart defects), and many thin people go out that way too.
@@Josh_Fredman heart defects are not unrelated to obesity
Not sure what his weight has to do with anything?
Dude is a phenomenal actor, I agree.
@@reneedailey1696 That he is so overweight I would not expect him to live this long in real life. James Gandolfini was like that.
This just shows how excellent a show Rome was. Every actor was on Top form no matter what part they'd played.
The News reader was absolute Class! Wonderful acting ,wonderful actor.
I love seeing the evolution of Italian hand waving while talking
05:28 truly evidence of who is the most oppressed minority
I for one welcome our new Barbarian Overlords
And this is the morning news back in the day in Rome.
Learning about news through this method would obviously be really limited compared to modern ways but damn if it isn't way cooler.
@@FatherNagic Uhh, no lol
@@FatherNagic there is a very funny thing, about the late baby boomers and early xers. they think the news was less biased in their day. there were three TV channels. they all reported on the same things, because they knew that if they pissed either the government or their corporate sponsors off, they would be in trouble.
there are a lot of problems that have come with everyone being able to talk to everyone, all the time, forever. but on the bright side, you are not stuck listening to a single fat guy, who knows that if he says anything that pisses off the people in charge he is going to fall down some stairs onto eighteen seperate stab wounds.
@@CJVS995 HEAR YE HEAR YE, TRY RAID SHADOW LEGENDS TODAY
Electricity and internet really spoiled us, back in the day you had to do everything "manually" by moving your butt from home to get anything done.
RIP those missing frames
_"groups of 3 men..." * oh shit we're 3 * "should not congregate in public spaces"_
Here’s a version I made up of the announcement of the Varangian guard and Christianisation of Rus:
“After much negotiation, our emperor, Basil second has agreed to marry his sister to the prince Vladimir of the Rus, in exchange, the prince will set aside his pagan faith and adopt the customs and beliefs of Christianity, in addition to this new flock to the church, he now dispatches 6000 of his fiercest warriors to assist our beloved emperor in the war against the rebels under the usurper, Bardas Phocas.”
"Senate sits tomorrow. Be aware no disorder will be tolerated." Sounds like he's giving a reminder about a school football game.
He even spoke when nobody was around, just the guys with tablets. When announcing the curfew. A man dedicated to his job 💪
3:23 Earliest mic drop in history
“Groups of three men shall not congregate”
Like you are currently with those two guys????
Bert Large's plumbing business having gone south, and his secondary line as a restauranteur flagging a bit, he engages in yet another career pivot. Inspiring!
So Aediles (mid ranking senators) were in charge of organizing and partially financing festivals and holidays. So I think really instead of some professional association getting the credit for providing wine or bread it would probably be the specific Aedile who is in charge of organizing the holiday.
fhe wine and bread were paid advertisements
@@toomanyaccounts not when he mentions who is providing the food for a festival.
@@cringlator that is the paid advertisement. they sponsored the festival hence advertisement
Throwing parties, festivals, holidays and triumphs (when allowed after military victory) was important to secure an election (or reelection) to the Senate or for some other position in the government. Celebrating a funeral of your father was also a great way to catch some extra voters. Many people inside Rome didn't do anything important or their financial status was poor, wine and bread for free were great to keep going. City of Rome had enormous population for it's time and many grain transports from Africa and Egypt sailed back and forth. Losing these provinces in final centuries was one of the final nails in the coffin of the Western Roman Empire. Well technically only Africa, but Egypt stayed with East which had plenty of it's own problems and was unable to help.
More entertaining than most news outlets of today.
I first remember seeing Ian McNeice in the film "84 Charing Cross Road," but he was already an established film and television actor before then. Mr. McNeice always makes an impression, no matter the role.
Recommended: the HBO movie "Conspiracy, " in which McNeice portrays General Klopfer, an attendee of the Wansee Conference.
How to do exposition without making your programme boring - a lot of film and TV makers would do well to learn from this.
Met him at a convention. Lovely chap.
This guy inspired North Korean news anchor Ri Chun-Hee
The best mélange from the Harkonnen Brotherhood of Spice Harvesters. Real spice for true Imperial subjects.
Literally my favorite roman
It's funny how the BBC stopped joint funding of this due to costs. considering how much episodes cost these days.
If you’ve visited the Roman forum, you recognize the area. It’s a cool feature of this series.
Why can't news presenters read the news like this nowadays?
"You must be Caesar himself?"
"Why're you asking?"
"You must be someone great as the Baron Harkonnen is reading your whims publicly."
"Thanks. I also have a bread-baking business."
0:58
Groups of more than 3 men
Checks how many men are there
Honestly, he's my favorite Baron Harkonnen. iykyk
Twitter of Rome! Ummm, pre Musk.
With Bert Large present in ancient Rome, is it really any surprise that the Rome was known for their plumbing? I will say that just reading the news was one of his more unique money making schemes.
even back then italians were still talking with their hands

Gluteus Maximus speaks!
Wait... Is that you Greenwall?
The only mistake this show made was the second Augustus character. The first actor was pure gold; the second was okay but not nearly as likeable.
This guy's nickname was, "Jowlius Caesar"....
long live the republic. 😂😂😂😂
Roman CNN!
“Caesar” was pronounced “Kay-ser.”
Yeah but they didn't speak English either so
@@koboldengineering7687 of course not and I’m not that bent out of shape about it-I have a life. I’m just saying, I think the other pronunciation is more accurate and sounds cooler anyway.
Otherwise it feels like they’re talking about a salad
cool, but did Italians speak English during Roman Empire ?
Can you and the majority of people who watched his show speak Latin??
It's a British/American TV show made for English speaking audiences lol. Even if Italians made it it'll be in Italian, not Latin.
Anyway, the Anglo creators is an obvious force in this show besides the whole language thing, the show feels like an exploration of the British Empire using the Roman period as a vehicle for it.
The failure of this show just proves how people prefer fantastical history to anything close to the real one. Q

@@hectorsanchez1377 he has angels
I love how quickly he gets weary of reading the advertisements from the Guild of Millers.🤣
"Citizens of Rome, This month's public games are brought to you under the auspices and patronage of Raid Shadow Legends..."
The Newsreader has excellent relations to the rival political parties in Rome. It is a miracle he was not proscribed and purged by the supporters of the rival parties Caesarians/Populares and Pompeians/Optimates.
True Roman bread for true Romans!
@@victorsanchez5336 He (as far as I can tell when I watching this series religiously back in the 00s) wasn't particularly partial to any one faction. He just read the news which included statements that each faction wanted to be read in the public square.
Thank God it wasnt Raymour and Flanigan. Their ads are getting tiresome.
I'll use "True Roman bread for true Romans", whenever I have the chance of opening a bakery.
When I visit, I shall say, "Good bread this."

@@The_OneManCrowd '86 Dune is the Best Dune. Too strange to make money, too fashionable to die in obscurity.
@@The_OneManCrowd Best Baron, and I also rather liked the depiction of Feyd. Time will tell how Austin Butler does.
Funny to think the guy was in most if not all episodes, but never interacted with any other characters.
he was there to show the life in the city. there were newsreaders in ancient Rome
IIRC his role was added late in production, after most of the rest had been shot.
Oddly enough it's fitting as a public crier like this was seen as a somewhat shameful position compared to the "honest" work of Senators and other civic officers, since they "sold their voice" to the various advertisers like the guild of millers.
The dream of any actor - gets the stage all to himself. 🤪
@@ItsAVolcano It seems that "selling" voice and body was held in a similar regard to prostitution, 5:56 as actors, prostitutes and tradesmen are not allowed.
true roman news for true romans
He acted the shit out of that role. Always loved to see his appearance and hand gestures
When you get what was supposed to be a bit role and you play it so well that you're all some people remember from the show. God bless Ian MacNiece!
All that hand movements… he sure is an Italian
A true Roman reader for true Romans.
Can't believe ads were a real thing even as far back to the days of antiquity
@@Nuuk_Nuke_Nook fascinating
Ancient Romans would.probably be more fascinated that their way of marketing are still being done today: and with a whole another profession for it!
The Romans were basically businessmen. The quintessential Roman motto is: Time is money.
I wonder if they were sponsored by RAID SHADOW LEGENDS
they even had fast food places back then. a number of things you think are modern are actually quite ancient
A true professional example for all journalists. Never choose political allegiance.
I like the "do him harm" part
I 👌 absolutely,👐love ☝️the gestures 🙌
Ian McNeice is always great, imho he played the best on-screen version of Baron Harkonnen in the Dune mini-series.
Baba Booey
He has also been an excellent mainstay in Doc Martin playing a totally loveable but different character.
Fun fact about the advertisement.
If you go to Rome, you can find a old roman public square with mosaic floor where in it are drawn advertisement for different companies. Mostly people who imported goods to rome
It was also proved long ago that internet trolling existed 2000 years before internet.
This compilation is close to being a sufficient summary of the 2 seasons
He's essentially Roman kent brockman "I for one welcome out new overlord G a i u s J u l i u s C e a s a r"
Roman News Network(RNN) for the latest in news for all true Romans.
I would love to see the Byzantine equivalent, with him telling the news in Greek, in a square located in the New Rome/Constantinopol. For instance:
6th Century AD: "Our beloved Imperator Justinian will attend horse racing in the Hippodrome. Booing for the taxation from "Prasinoi" and "Venetoi" should be kept to a minimum."
8th century AD: "Our beloved Augusta, Irene the Athenian, condemns iconoclasm. From now on, everyone is free to worship religious depictions of our true and only God. This announcement is sponsored by souvlaki tavern "the new Rome", the best souvlaki in the whole Keratios gulf."
and so on...
Wanna worldbuild a continent with me for my LARP game?
@@saraeissa4954 Does this offer still stand?
@Sp I've been saying for years they need to do a miniseries about Justinian and Theodora; just merge both of Procopius' histories into a spicy but drama filled story. Call it "The Last Romans", cast Iwan Rheon as Justinian.
@@PenTheMighty Like seriously, how is it that they haven't done some historical drama series based on the Byzantine Empire by now?!
There was so much palace intrigues/backstabbing, civil wars, religious infighting, plus the occasional invasion by ''barbarians'' during the Byzantine era, it makes stuff like Vikings, Tudors or GoT look boring in comparison.
@@doublep1980 It just doesn't capture the public imagination, for reasons that escape me, probably because of the heinous libel that they didn't count as Romans, because of the pronouncement of 16th century Catholics.
I see the standard of journalism hasn't improved much over the last 2,500 years, in fact, its gotten worse!
you're right - Fox News, OANN, etc...fucking trash
@@hadesmcfadden2982 sadly people still use that form of media to learn about all the stuff their school didn't teach them, either older generations from backwards times, or younger ones in poor rural/inner city communities that do not get past the failed K-12 system, who don't know how to use a library researcher's guidance or a modern academic research databases

If 1984 is ever given a proper, big budget streaming adaptation, Ian McNeice should play the Oceania Broadcasting Corporation's newsreader. The way he says 'Glorious news!' is perfect for reporting on successful manoeuvres against the Eurasian army on the African front.
There's a 1984 movie adaptation with John Hurt and Suzanna Hamilton that I like alot. I think it was close to the book but it's been awhile. Solid movie.
@@whitepillmedia it’s pretty damn accurate to the book, that’s practically why we haven’t seen another adaptation of 1984 since no one else can top it.
@@crimsondynamo615
We also won’t see an adaption because it’ll cause people to think too much and the elite no likey free-thought.
True Roman bread, for true Romans!
I like his hand movements. Writing was really just coming into it's own for humans, and you can see how pantomime was still an important way to communicate. If you did that now, people are now more literate than ever, and they would be like wtf are you doing with your hands?
hes italian its genetic
"writing was really just coming into it's own to humans" no you ignorant idiot it's been used since the ancient times but most normal people didn't learn it because they weren't taught it and they didn't need it, while intellectuals and people who worked with writings did learn it and perfectly knew it as literate people do today. Further more in Caesar's times Romans citizens who lived in big cities definitely knew how to read inscriptions, so yeah, I call big big bullshit from your stupid comment.
For Romans, hand movements were considered an important part of charisma and rhetoric. When giving a speech all Roman politicians would have done it.
Marc Antony was considered vulgar because he never did during his speeches.
Writing had been around for quite some time before the rise and fall of Caesar, but go off
@Lurking Carrier That's not what we're talking about, thanks.

Anyone gonna point out the face he makes after reading Brutus' name?
One of the biggest rumours at the time was supposed paternity of Brutus. Paparazzi's and tabloids would have a field day with this one.
Officially his father was Marcus Junius Brutus Sr., but he died after taking part in rebellion led by Lepidus' father against Pompey.
Unofficially, there was a rumour he was the son of Caesar, as Brutus' mother became his lover.
Questions of his parentage continued to persist throughout his life, though officially everything was fine and nothing was proven. Still, it did allow his enemies to smear his name a bit. Name of Brutus (the one who ended the line of Roman kings) was important and by joining the Optimates against Caesar, Brutus did lend some legitimacy to the movement.
Romans were quite big on names. According to Cassius Dio and Plutarch, superstitious Roman soldiers didn't want to follow Caesar into Africa and later face Metellus Scipio, one of remaining leaders of Optimates at Thapsus. He was a descendant of the same Scipio Africanus who smashed Hannibal of Carthage and they didn't want to end the same way. Caesar managed to find some nobody guy, who was distantly related to Scipions and put as a good luck charm on front of battle. Now if he was really a Scipio, I personally doubt, but Caesar, who was Pontifex Maximus at one point, surely understood the power of religion over people's minds. He was quite a believer himself, though obviously it never stopped from utilizing his faith in a pragmatic way.
