ITV have commissioned a new Viking detective series to be screened early next year. Set in the year 1012, Inspector Norse will solve cases of rape and pillage in the hamlet of Oxford.
A grumpy middle aged Norse will be seen admiring the finer things in life such as mead and classical harp music whilst driving a vintage Roman chariot.
Tony Robinson is lined up to play the part of Norse as he has a large collection of his own props that he has dug up over the years.
