OooOooo...  I like Mike Loades, he's always tried to remain very faithful to history, and still makes his shows pretty entertaining.  Thanks for this, I'll definitely be watching.

I've always liked Mike Loades as well. His method and passion of presenting history reminds me a lot of David R. Ross, another published historian I enjoyed reading and listening to!  :)

Been waiting weeks for this one, ever since he announced it on his facebook page. :D

My DVR theoretically should have recorded it last night, so I'll probably watch tonight. Glad to hear you're liking it!

I saw it last night, and enjoyed it a lot. Learned some new things, and I hope they can turn it into a series instead of just a one-time show. Also, per Black Swan Designs:

I'll be sure to go post some comments.

I really enjoyed it. The main things I learned from it is the source of some common phrases and terms. Those were the eye-openers for me!

I also learned the meaning of a yellow hood. :)

Just finished watching, and thought it was excellent!  Mike Loades is great!  I too enjoyed the phrase origin stuff and was surprised by how many phrases are from falconry alone!  I also now know I will not try to authentically dye anything yellow.  :)
