Title: Just Part 1
Review: Mr Elgie is being unfair when he complains that this tape does not cover the evolution of Britain since 1603AD. What he seems to have missed is that this is just the first of a two part series and that Part 2 will cover the period post 1603.I've not seen the video but have had very good reports of it from my family back in Britain. I have read the book though and certainly enjoyed it. I'm told that it covers more material than the video so together they probably make a good set.Mr Elgie's comments regarding the lack of depth are probably correct if the book is anything to go by. This is not necessarily a bad thing though as it provides the reader or viewer with a good overview of the whole 4,500 yr period. They can then identify those periods that are of greater interest to them and search out more detailed studies of them.
Is the review positive or negative?
