Title: An excercise in not being objective!
Product review: Tony Robinson has the skill, through his personality, to convince the viewer of the thoroughness of his research and sincerity. Indeed that is what comes over in this documentary.Unfortunately when the documentary is closely examined it is not objective. For example Robinson conducts an irrelevant Grail chase and he ridicules Dan Brown's claim that all the art, architecture and secret societies in his book are real. However, Robinson does not prove that any of these are false. It is true that he challenges their significance but that is not the same as proving that Brown was wrong in identifying them.This documentary lacks the balance that is necessary to make it credible and my impression is that it follows a preconceived notion to present the book as a hoax. Unfortunately Robinson appears to have lost the plot for the book is a work of fiction.
