  • It has it's good points but it falls down in several crucial areas.

    Firstly the breadth of knowledge of the presenters is very limited, that is a problem when they are trying to talk with some degree of authority.

    Secondly they never miss a chance to blame everything on the English, now they may well be right most of the time but for any other nation they repeatedly refuse to judge or give a view on other cultures when they have no such problem in saying nothing good comes out of England.
