Schama was only very slightly less shabby with his 'A History of Britain'. He had a maunder around a couple of Neolithic sites, showed some Snettisham gold but was very obviously desperate to get to 1066, which he did, in no short order. Best not bother. As for Francis Pryor - what, really? Bit too keen on the 'ritual' explanation for my tastes.
