Ruined what could have been an interesting programme - wonder if Tony Robinson wasn't free at the time? Shame.
had this very same discussion with Mrs Church, i came to the conclusion that they chose "a nobody"
a) cos it was channel 4, and others probably have contracts with other production companies
b) the length of time it was filmed over, need a reletive nobody to be able to commit to a long term project

out of interest the woman Phillipa Langley, is now looking to sell her script for a movie deal, maybe that had something to do with all of the dramatics?
