The Dark Ages revisited

If you've got access to BBC iPlayer you really should give this a watch. It is everything that History television should be; engaging and thought provoking with a very charismatic presenter who definitely tries to do things differently.

It sometimes seems a bit non-specific and I can't really speak for its historical accuracy (I'm more of a modern historian) but at least Waldemar Januszczak does not look like he is being held hostage, as some academics tend to when they get in front of the cameras.
