Sonofherne you have it right. Scientific research – genetic, archaeological, linguistic and cultural studies of more recent times are doing much to chase out previous views of history (history is ‘bunk’ we might remember). The Anglo-Saxon ‘invasion’ for example was like the Norman one that followed merely the introduction of powerful warrior elites. It was not the mass invasion by a huge displacing populace. Only a meagre 3% of English people have any genetic claim to being Anglo-Saxons today.
Braveheart is utter bollocks – both historically and as a film.
McGoohan was its only good thing. Someone should cut a shorter version with only the ‘king’ parts left.
All of the wall is in England!
After all,what did the Romans ever do for us?
On that I agree. 1066 changed our island forever. Though divisions existed before, they really solidified. We probably would have been a lot more like Ireland is now.
Mind, the Roman invasion didn’t do much for the country. You guys got a big wall to look at!
One persons freedom fighter is anothers traitor. Braveheart was Robert the Bruce not Wallace. A lot of people don’t know that. History is written by the victors.
The scoti were actually irish that usurped the native people in Scotland. Genetically, scots are pretty much the same as the english. England is more mixed, mostly in the East. Lowland Scots are more saxon than the english, and 90% of english are as celtic as the scots and welsh.
Scots vs English hatred should stop.
Stop refering to the Hollywood movie!
Scotland was a small country with no standing army which was invaded by one of the most powerful armies of it’s time.
Only the common people led by Andrew de Moray and Wallace stood between survival and conquest by a larger country.
It was a resistance movement.
If only Harold had won in 1066. The Norman conquest was to blame for disharmony in our islands.
No medieval king was lovely, but he was no worse than many others including many SCOTS kings who were too busy butchering each other, to fend off Edward. There are winners and losers in all wars. A lot of nasty stuff happened on either stuff.
Let’s not add to the division, which isn’t aided by FALSE history like Braveheart. Wallace was a noble and no saint!
The massacre of Berwick,the theft of my nation’s records and the sacred cross of St.Margaret and the Stone of Scone.
The destruction of our towns,subjection of our people,The Ragman’s roll,humiliation of King John Balliol,murder of Wallace etc.,
He was a lovely man!
Actually, it’s a matter of interpretation, he was a good king by medieval standards. Strong leader, warrior, not unlike Richard I but balanced wars with finance. Don’t take what BRAVEHEART claims as actual historical fact. The Scots didn’t like him for sure. But they were on the losing side!
Strange fellow. Loved his work. “Be Seeing You”
i love his work with falk on columbo.
Truely a genius
Patrick at his very best as always!!!!! There is a whole US 3 parter interview on here with him that tells us nothing as was his way with The Prisoner. But constantly taking the mick out of the interviewer and the audience.
He refers to this series as an allegory, He was a Strict Catholic man and maybe like the Bible does he has left us to interpret the story as we identify with it personally?
A Fantastic Series that I think lives because of this very fact… There is No definitive answer!
I am Number 1@! BRILLIANT!
RIP Paddy.
“My children were molested coming from school, there were people beating on the door with mallets…”
Wow, that sure killed the mood, didn’t it?
he was equally good as the Warden in escape from Alcatraz Another evil bastard as BillDFC puts it lol
Hated the person he played,the evil bastard Edward of England.
Very well done…ty Pat …you will be soorily missed…RIP.
I always knew I was number 1
Hasn’t his looks gone to hell, really showing his age
Unfortunately, a lot of people are taught to act and sound a certain way in these awful broadcast schools which make these interviewers look like complete idiots. Always having this thought racing through their heads that they must be entertaining and breezy, when they should be concentrating more on what the guest they have in is about.
loved this guy in Braveheart! R.I.P.
who is number 1. no body needs to know . and people who needs to know have to depth in personality.
long live John Drake!!!!!!!!!!!what a brilliant man.
*That was the conclusion what you saw – thats why its still confusing*
