I do like his history of Britain.

But I simply cant watch him seriously any more since Paul and Harry's History of the Two.

All that dramatic gurning and intonation!

    Love his stuff, passionate and engaging and doesn't become the story teller like Starkey - lets the story tell itself.

    Smartest man around. Brainy cute ( old enough to be my dad! ) worth listening to. He said Obama would be a good presidential candidate 14 years ago!

    Yeah but did he say he'd be a great president?!

    Harry Enfield did catch his essence perfectly.

    Harry did do a great impersonation! I'm rewatching History of Britain on BBC4 and I'm enjoying it but it does now have added humour for me as a result of that impersonation. He is still great though.

    I'd forgotten how good this breakthrough series of his was.
