I came across to your channel today from History Buffs. Mr Hodges suggested you may be my "cup of tea" & he wasn't wrong. This is now my fifth video of the day & alas my bed is calling me. Needless to say, I shall be returning to continue exploring your channel & extraordinarily detailed work. Please do keep producing more videos 😊

Why are they throttling traffic to your page and promoting such useless vapid entertainment? I love your videos! It’s like KZbin wants to enforce stupidity and steer us away from thinking.
