BBC - History - A History of Britain

We've just started watching this excellent series in anticipation of our trip. The writer/host Simon Schama turns out to Cybil's favorite historians (yes, Cybil is such a geek she has a favorite historian). The guy is good. He is both impartial and impassioned. I didn't even fall asleep watching it. He reminds me a lot of Mr. Chase, my British History teacher from my first year at Hebron. The course was one of the hardest I've ever taken, but fairly so. He was more interested in teaching how and why than when.
