Do you really need that explained or are you just looking for an argument. You sound very angry about some grave historic injustices and the BBC in general (I don't know much about how it allocates its budget but chicanery is a good word). You had absolutely nothing to say about the programme or its content. Howburn Digger on the other clearly did watch it and made some valid criticisms - Ben Fogle as a presenter is definitely not everyone's cuppa. Drewbhoy has posted on this forum for quite some time and is always courteous or otherwise doesn't bother. I'm guessing he thought I may have been offended by your outrage. I wasn't, just a wee bit bored.

Whilst I might agree with a lot of your points, and I'm a staunch supporter of Scottish Independence, always have been, always will be, this is hardly the place for such comments or language in reply to Tjj highlighting the fact that there was/is a programme on the TV that would show a few prehistoric sites. Whatever the programme's vocal content, the scenery is fantastic and I'm glad to say I've been to all the islands concerned. So my sorry to Tjj was apologise for your misplaced rant, Howburn got it right with his comments, as he also said worth watching for the scenery and archaeology as well.

Such comments would be better placed in the Head to Head section of this website, and the language improved. As for Tjj, hope you're doing well and you're welcome to Aberdeenshire anytime :-)
