I never knew old battlefields were so fascinating. Tony Pollard and Neil Oliver finding all sorts of bits of rusty metal that turn out to be gun barrels, belt buckles and saddle irons have my teenage daughter glued to the screen. We all share their excitement when they find the ubiquitous musket balls. What could be a dry and boring subject (to us girlies, anyway)is transformed by their enthusiasm and the sight of two very educated blokes happily acting out historical battle scenes dressed in army gear through the ages like two boys. If history had been like this when I was at school I might not have fallen asleep quite so often.
