The History of England

David Crowther delivers English history with the kind of dry wit you'd expect from, well, an Englishman talking about England. Starting from the Anglo-Saxons and working forward chronologically, it's thorough without being overwhelming. Crowther's a hobbyist rather than an academic, and somehow that makes the show more relatable. He'll freely admit his biases and uncertainties. The community around this show is wonderfully engaged too. Perfect for Anglophiles and anyone curious about how a small island shaped so much of the world.
