That's what bugs me about History channel and UK TV History documentaries...stuff where there are easily verifiable facts...

I used to take part in the old Warships1 (now NavWeaps) boards, and a lot of the conversations there centered around the latest History Channel shows and what they got wrong. There were always comments similar to mine in the 'Frustrating Writers' thread: "I'm afraid to watch their shows on subjects I know nothing about; afraid I'll pick up a lot of bad information."
