Secrets of the Castle

the latest series about life in past times, following on from Tales from the Green valley, Victorian farm, Edwardian Farm etc. this time the team are sharing in the experiences of a team of French experts recreating a medieval castle. As usual, the indefatigable Ruth Goodman is there to show us how people did things, and as always she is enthusiastic. The loose medieval gown she wears is 'the most comfortable thing' she's ever worn, and rushes, she and her companions agree, make the floor of their modest home nice and warm. With tireless enthusiasm they take you through every aspect of medieval daily living and show in fascinating detail how a real castle was built. Like all the previous series, this one is packed with fascinating information, and like Ruth and the others, you will be sorry when it comes to an end.

This series was just great, really fantastic, and Ruth is a total trooper. A real good soldier. I loved this VERY informative series, except for....

...The narrator was extremely annoying with his style of letting his voice "dramatically" taper off to almost nothing at the end of certain sentences. This brought it down to a near whisper, and I was, all, like, "What? What the hell did you say?"

"WOT THA 'ELL DID YEW SIGH, MITE??"

This narrator was really irritating to me.
