Such a slick and accomplished production🙂
Your work is brilliant, and your presentation is rare (in as much as you are easy on the ear, so many presenters are sadly irritating or distract from the info). You are easily in my top very few channels here (including mainstream TV etc). Love the historic contexts and graphics. Truly great Steve, cheers
