So, is anyone familiar with the "Solving History with Olly Steed" series?s

[abaris]

I've seen a lot of fundamentally stupid history documentaries in my life, but that series certainly tops them all. This guy interviews conspiracy nuts with a straight face and presents their diatribes as something to consider. In an episode about the famous Amber room he went on and on about SS planes (They didn't have any) and repeated the undiluted bullshit some guy dished out, who obviously was a raving nut, living in Lala land.

Not one interview with a historian. Only the same over and over repeated clues, long debunked by serious research.

That's from his wiki.

Oliver "Olly" Steeds (born 1975 in Merton, London[1]) is a British explorer and journalist who has travelled and worked in more than 100 countries. He is Director of Digital Explorer, an educational organisation that 'brings the world to the classroom'. 2011 Digital Explorer launched the Oceans Academy.

I certainly hope he's a better explorer than his dillentatism in history makes me suspect. For the kid's sake. Shines a peculiar light on the Discovery channel that they would produce such a pile of horseshit.
