    The boys just get better and better. Lots of historical substance here but its not dull. The pacing and delivery is broadcast quality. From what I can tell these are two regular blokes who tour blighty and makes these videos out of love in their spare time. I hope in time their contribution to our knowledge of their beloved country becomes commensurate with the quality of their productions. Unsung now, but Churchill himself was ignored for decades before the deluge. KBO chaps

      @@MemorySeekers when I was at the tower of London back in the 1994 I saw a ghost there of a man dressed in 14th century clothing. He was not an actor he disappeared in front of me smiling. I was freaked out at the time and so was my grandmother who saw the ghost also. But I will never forget that time I was there. LOL 😀 and also I went back to England again years later and saw another ghost of a man dressed in an old army uniform in winchester cathedral. He smiled also at me and disappeared.

      What? I understand English isn't your first language, but what you're saying makes no sense. Americans couldn't handle the history ,"of" England?
      Then you bring up a statue, I assume you mean Americans wouldn't like the idolization of tyrannous historical people, but that has nothing to do with understanding.
      If you actually got into English history, you'd find out that monarchism has had quite a bit of opposition in England. Most wouldn't think so, because monarchies are glamourized, especially in kids films, so we think of them as being loved by all, when they weren't.
