	It is one of the best programmes I have seen and brought history to life in very imaginative way.

	I'm also of the belief that the majority of people alive today must have had 'posh' ancestors - purely to have survived!

	Just shows, though no matter how 'posh' your deep dark ancestors were, their thousands of descendants can be all sorts :-D :-D :-D A genealogist on the programme traced his family further back - to Rollo Ragnvaldsson, AKA Rollo the Viking :-D :-D :-D

	It's a shame so many of you don't like his voice! It was quite interesting in a historical context. Food, clothes etc.

	A " professional cockney" if ever there was one. Didn't he win "I'm a celebrity" or something?

	No, I’d rather sticks pins in my eyes. I have only seen the trailer and that was about as much I could take of his voice and antics.
