A very good series. Neil Oliver is a very smart bloke - intellectually a cut above the likes of Dan Snow - not that I'm slagging off Dan Snow like...
He makes some extraordinary leaps of faith in his assumptions at times. Like last week when they found an iron age plate in a Scottish Loch. Oliver saying its an offering to the lake or some such. Of course it could have been some pissed bloke hoying the plate in the lake![]()
He really gets on my wick and last weeks programme was particularly annoying because of the reasons you say. It's great seeing the artefacts and remains of homes and stuff, which is the reason I watch it; but I hate it when he starts making stuff up about why people did things, when the truth is we haven't got a clue how they lived or what they believed.
Spinal Tap were well ahead of him here: "Nobody knows who they were, or what they were doing".
How do you know he's making it up though and making assumptions? He doesn't have time to fill in the entire provenance of each artefact, so has to make generalisations - it's popular history not a Ph.D thesis.
