BC: The Archaeology of the Bible Lands

on BBC Two England

A series of 12 programmes Written and presented by Magnus Magnusson 6: The Philistines
The word ' Philistine ' has become a byword for materialism and boorishness - maybe unfairly. Tonight's programme charts the arrival of these vigorous People from the Sea - their early clashes with the Egyptians and their inevitable head-on collision with the Israelites in the 12th century BC. A new hero emerges - the mighty judge or leader, Samson. Bible reader Eric Porter
