Problem with most popular media is it is dumbed down on basis people are expected to have short attention spans and there are loads of spoofers

I think if you get experts with a passion and a knowledge about a subject talking about it then it is really entertaining and informative - that history show is like that but I would include Gary Neville/Jamie Carragher football punditry and some of the better Off the Ball guests - often US sports journalists talking about historical sports figures. They had a good one recently about the boxer from Cuba - Teofilo Stevenson and contrasting him with Rigondeaux with Brin Jonathan Butler who has made a documentary about Rigondeaux.

I was gonna take the piss on the basis that you’d be capitalising the house but then realized that the builder would be selling the house and the cost would infact hit the p and l.

Cut my losses then.
