Title: Schama schmama
Product review: I bought this a while back so it has been a while since I viewed it. Having enjoyed Schama's series on great artists and being an fan of British history, I was eager to watch this series. I quickly became annoyed as he glossed over, or totally skipped entire centuries and momentous events. Yet he includes an entire chapter on George Orwell!?If you enjoy Schama's style you may enjoy this series, but please don't take it as a legitimate history of Britain. True, it is a vast subject and hard to cram into a few hours of a DVD, but George Orwell?? Come on.If you'd like to watch a gripping, well presented series that does a good job of following the epic saga, try David Starkey's "The Monarchy".
