Jacksgranda Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 So we just forget about his Scottish ancestry and concentrate on the Polish side.... His father and grandfather were born in England. His grandmother on his father's side was Italian. His grandfather on his mother's side was born in France. His grandmother on his mother's side was born in Dusseldorf. His mother was born in Silesia. You'd have to go back 3 generations for Scottish ancestry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 As mentioned he's an archaeologist. So programmes similar to that.. Really? So, not a programme like, for example, "The History of Scotland"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gullane No 4 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Apart from Nick Robinson the BBC seems pretty good value to me, anything I do not like I do not watch.......simples. However I really do get annoyed when they have the UK weather forecast on and talk about what will be happening in the North/South West etc. North of what, SouthWest of where? Another good example of stealth Englification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_B Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Really? When was that first aired on BBC? 2008 I believe... It was shown UK wide. Perhaps you are outraged at viewers down south being force fed this history of a foreign country they can have no possible interest in. We also of course had The Stuarts last year... Again on BBC You really are the gift that keeps giving with this thread. Just when you think you've reached maximum embarrassment... Nope.. You excel yourself once more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Err..you do know this is now 2015 and you have to go back 7 years to find a Scottish history programme. The Stuarts... err yes that's right they missed out all the Scottish Stuart Kings James I, II, III, IV and V. They started with James the VI and coincidently I of Great Britain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colkitto Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Just in case you don't know enough about Tudor England the BBC has made a new programme. Yes, believe it or not we have yet another programme about Tudor England.... Mary Arden: A Tudor LifeBBC Four A new BBC Four film looks at what life was like for ordinary Tudor people. In particular, this film tells the story of a woman touched by new opportunities in society, work and education in a century that saw the birth of England’s cultural and economic greatness.

Glad they settled for "England's cultural and economic greatness" since the British Empire wasn't worthy of the moniker until the Scots started running the show.

milhouse Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Can't we just all agree that at least 95% of what is on TV is rubbish? And not worth wasting your life watching? And then close thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gullane No 4 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 The weather report on the BBC is first class and far better than Sky Stv and the rest. I'm not disputing that at all. What I said was when they are doing the UK map the presenters often use general terms of North, South West etc instead of saying North of England or Southwest of England. This can be confusing, especially if you were blind, short sighted or [like many] listening without watching. A 400 mile difference between Liverpool and Durness can make quite a difference for someone hearing what the weather will be like in the 'North West'.
