Although interesting, the complete ignorance and lack of knowledge from the presenters in relation to what is Britain and what is the separate place of England, was totally off-putting. They are not the same place, a common mistake from English made documentaries.

Boudica certainly was not Queen of Britain nor did the Romans conquer Britain, as every Scottish school child would be able to tell them.

I suggest back to to the books for all presenters and writers, and hopefully they will learn the difference before they make another documentary series so full of factual inaccuracies it is near on impossible to watch.

Although interesting in parts and brave enough to call out Britains horrific role in slavery, it's seen through the lens of Englishness and like many historical documentaries regularly becomes confused between Britain/England and the terms become interchangeable, leading to inaccuracies and confusion for non-English viewers who are still British.

The episodes are also dominated by English towns and cities with a connection to the presenter, and no real great thought has went into exploring the many places in Scotland and Wales with arguably more historical significance to the island of Britain and beyond.
