Ok but....

I don't mind Tony Robinson and have watched a few of his documentaries, especially the history ones.

However, this series "Tony Robinson's History Of Britain" is somewhat ruined for by what to me is the inappropriate and intrusive spouts of music that keep popping up.

Not only intrusive, the music is too loud too.

I hate the lighthearted jingles that start when Tony is discussing something serious like Highway Men or surgery.

It just seems so inappropriate.

I know loud intrusive music seems to be a necessary prerequisite for any "serious" type of documentary these days, a great point in case being the BBC's "Horizon" which used to be a wonderful documentary series until totally ruined by the wizz bang whoosh approach and silly camera work (I never did enjoy looking up people's noses or close ups of the flaking skin on their faces) and am disappointed that Tony's documentaries seem to be going down the same path..
