Teribus, Sorry but I can't be arsed to go back through Keith's comments to pull out the numerous occasions when he's said (in various ways) that historians writing in the early and middle 20th century were either ill advised, ill informed, had their own political agenda or were just plain wrong.

I agree with you regards Blackadder and OWALW, mainly because they were aimed at being popular entertainment and not well grounded research, artistic license no doubt played a large part.

I have refrained from personal remarks as they serve no useful purpose, although I retain the right to harbour my own thoughts on peoples intelligence. Ooops!
