Dan Snow's Visit to Eden Court
Last night, Dan Snow, TV presenter and historian visited Eden Court. I found that even though, I'm tall, Dan Snow was still as tall as he looks on TV.
Mr Snow talked about the history of the places that he had visited, and gave a few jokes, and how he got into doing history. One of the things he talked about was the HistoryHit.TV, an on-line website of historical programmes, a bit like Netflix, where there programmes and podcasts by Snow and other people connected to historical events and things. Growing up, and enjoying history, it sounds interesting. One of the pieces about it was about looking to the remains of a Scottish laird who kept jumping between supporting the Jacobites and the Redcoats so he could become a laird, but got caught out, and was executed. The location of his remains is mystery, one source says he was buried at the Tower of London, but one myth says his followers stole his body back to his ancestral home and buried him there. The coffin he rumoured to be however revealed that there was only a young woman inside, so the search continues.
At the end I got to ask in the Questions and Answers session at the end. During my childhood/early teenage years, I was Dan Snow do a series called Battlefield Britain with his father, Peter. One of the episodes of the series was a programme about Culloden. In it, when talking about the failed attempt by the Jacobites to surprise the Redcoats, the father and son did a kilometre across the countryside, in the dark. Peter had the latest equipment (such as night-vision), while Dan had to do it like the Jacobites did (without the night-vision). The question I asked was who pulled the short straw for him, and if he ever got back at them for it. His answer was that, as a presenter, he got the parts that he had to put up with in order to do his job. Now I wish that I might have asked Neil Oliver a question when he visited.
Last night, I enjoyed Dan Snow's talk. I hope that such an event will happen again at Eden Court.

115th Blog Post - Review of Mary, Queen of Scots
I've been to see the historical film Mary, Queen of Scots, and I must say that it's historically more accurate than Mel Gibson's Braveheart.
I knew a bit about the the period of history the film covers as I saw programme by Neil Oliver telling the role the Scottish clans played. History generally remembers the deeds of great man and kings, but Mary, Queen of Scots and Queen Elizabeth of England were women who lived the times of kings and when men could over-rule their councils, and when religion (Catholic and Protestant) were fierce rivals and who the queens should marry and who would become their heirs. I think that it's sad that the nobles against Mary were able to twist her supporters to end up supporting them, or kill off her other supporters. Another point that connects to this day, is the issue of gender and religion; the Catholics and Protestants may be more peaceful now, but the issue hasn't gone away, and we are starting to see more women taking up the role of men.
I had never seen Saoirse Ronan on film before, only clips or trailers of her previous works, and I was impressed that she was able to portray one of Scotland's rulers who tried to prove her worth. The same for Margot Robbie, who has been nominated for an BAFTA Award for supporting actress for her role. I don't know who else has been nominated, but she would have my support at least.
David Tennant's John Knox was very good, because unless you heard his voice, and recognise the look he used to give when he played the Tenth Doctor in his time on Doctor Who, you wouldn't know it was him.
One piece of history that was unmentioned was that the English nobleman who helped Mary's son, James VI, become king of England was the son of the nobleman who convinced Elizabeth to execute Mary. What a twist of fate? How history could change the fate of nations, and the world, so quickly.
