Weeks of War (2022)
Just Like the Rest of Them
This is just another WWll documentary which shows places which they claim to be somewhere else. In one episode Cologne and Munich were both claimed to be Berlin. Just by showing war footage doesn't make a good documentary if what is being show is not accurate.
Look at the rubbish Hunting Hitler put to air with all the authenticity of a Superman comic. If producers wish to make documentaries, then they need to be meticulous in what the show and the commentary that goes with the vision, otherwise the story becomes just a work of fiction. There seems to be a plethora of these WWll documentaries that are not historically accurate.
Mighty Ships: MSC Meraviglia (2017)
Excursions ...Naples and then time travel?
Disappointing as with all these programs, editors just sitck in any old footage and try to tell you it's somewhere else. Ship docked in Naples, people left on day excursions and suddenly we are transported to Portofino some 700km to the north. Funny, I didn't notice the presence of any airport or even the Tardis sitting dockside. The editors need to get their locations correct and try not to deceive viewers with such rubbish. Parts of these documentaries are great and highlight the intricies of running such a huge cruise ship or really best described as a floating hotel. However as with such large ships, the sardine effect comes with the large number of passengers they carry. In all as Donald would say "Fake News". When you deceive viewers the you're only worth 1 star.
The Battle of Britain: 3 Days That Saved the Nation (2020)
Not Dan Snow's Best Work
Firstly if you keep referring to a Hurricane as a Hurry Cane then your ignorance of Britain's fighters is certainly showing and your research is totally lacking. The continual use of the same footage over and over in subsequent episodes shows the second rate nature of this production. The poor German pilot continually depicted must have flown 24/7 as he is on every raid on England. It's on par with that great cinematic classic "Hunting Hitler'. And we all know how authentic that was. This fills the format of all those other great American History Channel greats that like to have some air of sensationalism by highlighting poor acting especially on Snow's part. Used to like his work but this is no better than the rubbish James Holland stupidly signed his name to in Hunting Hitler.
