I much prefer this style of documentary where there are no cheesy reenactments. I want to see the architecture and the art of the day not some glob dressed in period costume bounding about. Thanks loads Schama and the poster of the video.

Thank you for uploading the episode. I agree that Schama has a tendency to use a paragraph where a sentence will suffice, but that's part of his literary panache.
