  • Aw, I was just starting to enjoy it and it was over... I LOVE Eddie and when he talks about History, I actually enjoy paying attention :) Where's part II ?

  • PC, BS.

    DNA say's if your grandfather was born in England you have a 75% chance of being descended from hunter-Gatherers who came here just after the last ice-age, this is a few thousand years before "celts" had left Asia.

  • this is left wing b.s - ango saxons = white, vikings = white, normans = white, post anglo norman settlers = white = ancient irish = white celts = white, until 1948 britain was 100% genetically white, it is built up on white europeans, we are definatly not mongrels. How do you think modern day britain started off white?.

  • p-s....eddie izzard rocks and has loads of balls!!!

  • pffffttt......im a new zealander living in australia whos back ground is english , german, n.z -maori -nga puhi.....my partner is from n.z who's parents and background is welsh. english, irish. scottish....but can go back to russia.....who cares about the shit as long as we have something decent to eat ..like a decent kebab when your on the way home from a good night out......and if yer out of luck then maybe a decent feed in the morning.

  • @Rico8458 I am english with dark hair and I am proud of that, and there were people here before the celts, izzard is a liar.

  • There's a number of problems with the historical introduction. One error is that the Celts used metals like gold as trading currency so they weren't without currency.

  • This program is utter bullshit. The vast majority of English culture originates from either Anglo-Saxon or closely related Germanic sources.

    As an Englishman i am insulted by being called a 'mongrel' by the likes of a funnyman like Eddie Izzard, but i'm not surprised.

    I seem to be having deja vu.

    Rant: over.

  • however, the mongrel mongols are the present day hindus and arabs... lol

  • all blond british english have german blood.

  • 1 min 17 secs. the celts are the real English?bollocks, the English were still in Northern germany/southern Denmark untill AD449
