For me The World At War 35 1/2 hour 11 disc box set takes some beating.

Everytime I watch a history documentry I think "that was good, but it could have done with more pixels".

The History Channel have been showing the convoy battles in the Atlantic recently and I must admit to not being overly impressed.

No kidding, that series in my opinion is the pinnacle of all WWII documentaries.

I'm anticipating the new series, Decline and Fall of the History Channel.

Ancient Aliens, 2012, and Ice Road Truckers....gimme a break.
