Dear BBC,
While I am deeply appreciating the excellent series on the Normans (both Robert Bartlett's The Normans and Dan Snow's Norman Walks), at some point in the future could we please have a similar series on modern history. One that does not concentrate on either World War. Gender relations from 1900-1928 for instance, or on the events on 1929-1931. The pre-1914 period, for instance, gives us major industrial disputes, gender conflict not seen since the 1970s (at least) and the threat of what amounted to civil war over Home Rule for Ireland.
Please could it not be presented and researched by Andrew Marr either. He's not good at doing his own research.
Thanks
DHS
In fairness to Marr, he's not a bad researcher. It's just that he's a journalist and journalistic research is not necessarily always suited for historical documentaries
