    A potentially interesting documentary
    This subject is really interesting and I was looking forward to this programme, having seen a recent documentary on William Tyndale, who translated the bible into English.

    As soon as the presenter started I felt something wasn't right. I wasn't sure about their presenting skills, arms all over the place, and a strange Goth look. Their hands moved an awful lot and when asking a question of someone, every word is accompanied by a jerky hand movement - a lot of presenters do this. Very irritating.

    We also have unnecessary close ups of the presenter's face and we have her walking, well teetering on ridiculously clompy shoes. At least that added a big of humor.

    I couldn't always understand what the presenter was saying and I had to put the closed captions on - actually that wasn't a bad thing as I concentrated on them!

    I watched a while as the books are so interesting, as is the subject.

    Unfortunately, I soon realised that I wasn't learning anything new, the information and details we were given have all been televised before.

    Note to BBC and documentary makers, please ask presenters to maybe not be shown too much, after all we are watching for the subject and there shouldn't be irritating distractions. Presenters should also be able to present well.
