Rather disappointed that this seems to be a PA exercise for The British Museum, shoehorning 'artifacts' into the narrative...

An overall utter disgrace of a show laughably calling itself a historical documentary. Roughly half of the talking heads, our so-called experts, are writers, artists and charlatans calling themselves historians without any academic qualification in that area. All four episodes tell you almost nothing and even manage to include plenty of outright falsehoods. Specialist Factual Productions apparently. Horseshit Productions more like.
