And if we're not doing history documentaries we're trying to re-create it with an endless number of "period dramas". I detest them yet the whole country gets hooked (brainwashed) into thinking Downton Abbey is some majestically unmissable TV programme.

A quick look at the Sky Atlantic schedule for this evening:
9.00pm - Vegas - A 1960's period drama set in Vegas
11.00pm - Oliver Stones Untold.....History Of The United States - A look at the administration of JFK
I recon you'd hate that channel if we had it
