Rather good - fun but 100% educational

Unusually, presenter Allan Chapman happily plays up his white haired "mad professor" appearance and the programmes feature quirky Monty Python style animations as well as jokey illustrative historic re-enactments. But these as with the conventional demonstrations, historic locations, illustrations, books, objects. and explanations, the programmes are very well crafted and entirely to purpose. With the best lecturers and teachers, their spoken words are carefully chosen, memorable and well worth remembering.
