ss002d6252 Posted 9 November , 2014 Share Posted 9 November , 2014 One of the better shows that I've watched so far although I think I've driven the wife off out of the room(she's not really interested in my comments regarding the show & couple of points I've raised ...).

IRC Kevin Posted 10 November , 2014 Share Posted 10 November , 2014 Not bad for a Tony Robinson, though marred by a few minor inaccuracies from him and his summing up at the end annoyed! I have to wonder how much of Max Hastings' interviews were edited out so as to not contradict the 'Great Robinson's' perceived wisdom! Biggest annoyance were the photographs, which to me appeared so out of focus that they made my eyes ache. (or was that just me?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss002d6252 Posted 10 November , 2014 Author Share Posted 10 November , 2014 Me as well with the photos. I picked up on a couple of issues relating to the quoted military strengths and the use of the 'T.A'. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxi Posted 31 August , 2015 Share Posted 31 August , 2015 This programme is back on again, more's the pity. Patronising pap except for Max Hastings' contribution. Maxi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simond9x Posted 4 September , 2015 Share Posted 4 September , 2015 I've just watched this for the first time and thought that Tony Robinson was a very poor presenter. His 'style' may work on children's television but I found it simplistic and, at times, patronising. And who on earth, in Costume, approved that shirt? Shame because some of the photographs used were quite interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevmc Posted 10 September , 2015 Share Posted 10 September , 2015 I don't ever recall Tony Robinson declaring himself to be an expert. He is simply a presenter who "presents" what his programme-maker prepares. Inaccuracies will not be down to him. As far as style is concerned that's so personal it hardly makes any difference what someone thinks about it, as he is clearly seen as a popular and successful presenter to the masses.

Ray I think we sometimes forget that the greater proportion of views of these programmes do not have the knowledge that we have (or in my case think I have, always learning something new.)
