A History of Ancient Britain
« on: October 24, 2023, 09:46:18 AM »
I read the book a few years ago, and greatly enjoyed it (even though Oliver is a dick). It ends where many histories of Britain start, with the Roman invasion. I look forward to the TV series.

It's not bad but I can't watch him on this sort of stuff without thinking of Robert Clach

Can't watch anything with Oliver in it anymore sadly.
