  I love the momentary loss of words displayed by a little stutter every now and then where he gets a little bit excited with his own story telling. The difference with this guy and others is the deep understanding of context versus knowledge of facts. Keep &apos;em coming Dr. Starkey, I&apos;m addicted.

  Drinking wine by the fire and listening to perfect history.

  David Starkey doesn&apos;t need the money, he&apos;s doing this for the public good. We all owe him a huge debt of gratitude for this, lesser men wouldn&apos;t have bothered.

  After Dr Starkey&apos;s lectures I feel as if I ought to be writing a 2000 word essay on some aspect of it, fully referenced and in by next Thursday!

  The Thomas Cromwell portrayed/imagined by the brilliant Hilary Mantel is exactly the factual &nbsp;Thomas Cromwell described by David Starkey - her fabulous trilogy, “Wolf Hall’ wasn’t a saccharine coated twee novel…but a brilliantly written historical novel for us non-academics (who also have brains) &nbsp;to understand Cromwell’s work and his place in the ‘grand scheme of life in the period of Tudor England in which he worked whilst allowing our senses to wholly enter the world as it was during that time. &nbsp;Kudos to Mantel.

  I went to university in the 1980&apos;s when tutorials where usually one student and one professor. These videos take me back....but at a much higher level!

  These lectures are brilliant, Dr Starkey. Please continue to do more on the Tudors, as well as Elizabeth I.

  All I can say is: &nbsp;wow!! &nbsp;Starkey just doesn&apos;t tell us what happened, he MAKES SENSE of what happened. Just like good economists do, Starkey understands that if you want to understand what happened, you have to take account of the motivations of the people involved and of the resources they had available to bring about what they wanted to achieve.
