I really don't know why this programme was called Rise of the Clans. It should have been called the Neil Oliver Show. Lots of close ups of his "witty" remarks and tossing his hair. He starts off by saying Robert the Bruce was a coward and didn't want to fight at Bannockburn. When I watch a documentary I expect to see and hear facts. This programme was short on both.
Much, much better was the History Channel's programme Battle of Kings: Bannockburn.
Personally I feel I wasted an hour of my valuable time on this dreadful programme and I won't bother watching the rest. It's a pity as a while back there was a brilliant programme about the Battle of Bannockburn from a military point of view. I thought it was made by the BBC but on reflection I think it might have been another History Channel production.
Don't waste your time watching. Find something more productive to do.
