Documentary on Oliver Cromwell

Anyone who watches sky documentaries on the history channel has probably seen this. It is pretty good.


here is the start of episode 1


here is the start of episode 2

I've watched episode one so far and certainly going to watch the second too. It's quite interesting, thank you for posting! It surprises me a little how much they have re-enacted. In most documentaries you'll see about a few minutes re-enacted and most of that repeated throughout the documentary. Here half the documentary is actually played out material.
Maybe you should've posted it in Vestigia Vetustatis rather than in the arts section though?

Edit: I'd give you some rep for posting this but it says I'll need to "spread around some rep" before I can rep you again!

the inside was worse dude!

We watched it in my history class at school. No one really remembers much of it besides the one guy who's like "CROMWELL" really really gruffly.

By the way one of the irish lecturers in it is in my university. The irish guy with the dark grey hair.
