    really gripped me this because many years ago i qualified as a NHS paramedic instructor and you had to prepare and deliver while under strict timing of sessions, and submit a lesson plan that had to be adhered to. i know exactly what Simon went through when he was monitored and de briefed. well done to him.

    This seems like it's made for tv, but I'm impressed by the: lack of repetition, it's decently gripping story line, and it's focus on {even though it's biased} history.
    I watch historical stuff as much as possible, but this was far superior to stuff I usually see. Thank you for not talking down to me.

    I'm pretty sure Simon was my tour guide the first time I visited the Tower. He was fabulous.

    The object between the joists behind the white pannel is a ship beam spacer to prevent warpage. It also makes a wonder uniform hanger.

    I'd suggest some additional tourist touchable items. Maybe they can operate a guillotine (glass in the blade), hand crank a coin operated penny press and fire a musket (blank). The tower ice rink can fulfill a royal mandate that all population practice the long bow. A photo would provide a take home souvenir from the tower commemorating historical functions of the castle. This could give the wives something to do besides complaining.

    The name of the Chapel translates as St Peter In Chains ⛓there's another one in Italy in Satan's City, that one is a Library/Archive now and the Burial Ground within the Courtyard was used for Satanism/Witchcraft in the 1970's, so they Exhumed most of the Dead and reburied them in a more secure location, although there is some Graves in the Burial Ground but they're under the Walk Way and inaccessible. A really good Documentary on a great Subject...

    NOT A PRISON they stress this every time you take the tour it was not a prison it was a palace first and formost and would house the occasional prisoner in its dungeon

    Pretty sure Tower of London is not oldest British Tourists attraction, take stonehenge for tourist attractions, I mean only a few thousand years different (insert a very british sense of scale here). Tower of London it is intriguing and started its creation modern day (post Harold) with Normans, but then there is a wall that surrounds (can be seen from places) that dates back to Roman times some 900-1000 years earlier, etc , etc.
    facts are facts embellishments are lies, we live in time we need to call them out. All of us from around the world.

      Stonehenge ain't that special whatsoever, you can see it on the nearby A Road so no need to stop.
      The Tower is 99% more interesting

    I watched Simon's tour on another video, and it was very much against marriage and he talked a lot about being nagged. I can totally see why. Seriously, if she wants to live somewhere else, maybe she should get a better job and buy her own house. Until then, I'm pretty sure he's taking the job at least partly for the money.
