I have just finished watching the most horrible history program I have ever known.
As you may guess from the title it's Pryor's BRITAIN AD. His attempt to destroy the credibility of Dark Age historians and set up the dominance of his brand of archeology. That is part time and of the pick'n'choose type.
I mean, I couldn't stop myself laughing at some points, he is hilarious. Seems like another airport book kind of guy.
A lot of people I know take his word for truth because he so damned sure of himself ( at least thats how he sounds). He speaks in absolute terms.
Must is his favourite word.
He attacks antiquated Victorian views which not even those in opposition of his idiocy stand by, he never gives other views much of a chance either. It's all a bit of an ego trip.
Anyway I'll linky some amazon and other reviews for you.
