I’ve watched these countless times. It’s my go to “background” series to watch while I’m about housecleaning, great pace of information and a great selection of historical stories.

Historic buffs and lovers of old castles should gobble up this beautiful overview over Great Britain most important and interesting castles in historic perspective with beautiful scenic footage of the architecture and the area around it. It also give in broad strokes an overview over the events that created Great Britain and how the separate countries became part of one kingdom. There is not that many secrets to be uncovered though as most can be read on the internet or books anyway. The most interesting secrets are shown in the first episode when they show off parts of a castle that hasn't really been shown to everyone. The title is misleading and should instead have been "Forgotten History of the great British castles".
