3/5
It’s your standard travelogue enhanced by occasional readings from the poem. Grant has a wonderful time. However, the links to Homer can be quite tenuous. Go to Full Review Charlotte Ivers Sunday Times (UK) Aug 11, 2026
It’s hard to watch someone so clearly having a wonderful time and not start to feel like you are having a wonderful time too. Go to Full Review Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) Aug 5, 2026
4/5
The actor, a life–long teetotaller, is a delightful travelling companion. He's arch, he's fascinated by history, he's unafraid to fool around and he's plainly out for a good time. Go to Full Review Louis Chilton Irish Independent Aug 5, 2026
2/5
