Shame they couldn't do it without mentioning Adolf. However, it is good to see the BBC making some effort to show something about Europe, rather than that dire recycling of Henry 8th's wives.

An excellent, albeit blood soaked, account of the first few centuries of the Habsburg Dynasty.
I had not heard before of the forgery. |

A lot of history covered in that first episode, but it was a good documentary and I'm glad the BBC continues to make programmes about the history of other parts of the world.

Very interesting programme.
How nice to hear the phrase "The defenestration of Prague" - something I haven't thought about for over 50 years and probably will never think of again. It's the only thing I remember about the 30 years war.

Excellent scene-setting for the second "Golden age" prog next week. This is how you should present complex history and it deserves a BBC2 slot.

Keep the good stuff, like this documentary, on BBC 4. I'm half surprised they don't move University Challenge and Mastermind over, as well.

Last night's second episode was excellent.
Louis XIV must have regretted his decisions re Prince Eugene of Savoy. |
