Reformation - Starkey ! - bbc2

Historian David Starkey reveals how the Protestant Reformation unleashed fundamentalist beliefs, terror and holy war across Europe in a way that is all too familiar to many people today.

Timed to coincide with the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther nailing his 95 Theses to the doors of All Saint's Church in Wittenberg, the presenter charts the spread of Luther's ideas across Europe and into Britain

Good presenter Starkey.

Henry VIII - Pope of Engand !

never forgave him for the ride on dancing brave

fat pat knew

Starkey keeps trying to paint him as a monster.....it's not going to work

PS Change your glasses Dave ! ....they make you look like a weirdo !

Modesty forbids me to say

If nothing else it shows that when we put our minds to it we can out-monster Islam any day. With added malevolence.

Good presenter Starkey.


He's not even the best presenter on BBC2

He's not just a presenter he is also the writer.

I like his confidence, which comes from knowing his subject thoroughly.

Can be a bit irritating though.

Sorry, I thought you meant Richard Starkey

Never heard of him 1

!

Just watched it on iplayer. Very interesting.

Yes

hes interesting, but somtimes a bit biased

i enjoyed his monarcy series but reformation less so.


spandau ballet original is very good.

Just had a quick listen…… a bit monotonous.

10 seconds is maybe not enough to do it justice
