Is that the series with Mike Loades, vudak? He's great! extremely enthusiastic about weapons and fighting, he's on the latest series of time commanders too. I recently watched a TV programme which he trained 4 guys to joust in a medieval tournament using real lances. One guy even took a lance to the helmet and didn't feel a thing. It was really good.

Mike Loades, yep, that's the guy!

He's basically the Crocodile Hunter of medieval weapons. It's also interesting how he dispells some of the old myths... He literally threw himself from a charging horse just to prove a knight with armor could get up afterword.

You're right- collectively we'd be more attractive and have better teeth.

FWIW I don't have English blood in my veins, so it wouldn't affect me.

Fair answer!

Though the descendants of the pilgrim fathers might disagree.
