What bothered me was that the historical ignorance of the presenters was almost as great as that of the voters, e.g. Anne Robinson talking about the near neighbour of your namesake - Boudicca - leading ENGLISH armies against the Romans and Eve Pollard saying Henry VIII broke with Rome in order to divorce Anne Boleyn (whose head he had chopped off).

Come to that, if Boudicca was there why not Caratacus?

But at least there seemed to have been a concerted effort by Welsh voters to annoy Anne Robinson by getting Owain Glyndwr in the top 50 - about 40 places ahead of William Wallace I noticed. :)
