A well deserved award to David Olusoga

“With a three-decade career spanning the creative arts and academia, the historian and broadcaster has been a trailblazer for the TV industry, leading the reappraisal of how history has been traditionally told through popular culture.”

The Guardian.
 
Totally agree Mike. As well as all his achievements and abilities listed in the link and Pedro's quote, he most importantly (to me personally) is his ability to engage people in history in a way not all historians are able to. And his enthusiasm always shines through.

I always wanted him to do a House Through Time in Birmingham. He is my favourite historian, making history about the people who lived it. I love the way he uses family history research to bring our ancestors alive with such empathy.

I like this presenter. He's very professional and impartial. I think I've watched all of 'a house through time', be great if he concentrated in a Birmingham property.
 
I'm sure most would agree, but there might be a problem in finding a suitable home of appropriate age that was still there after the ministrations of either Adolf or Manzoni and his acolytes
 
Surely there must be something. It would be a great programme. There never seems to be many historical programmes about Birmingham.

Peaky Blinders was a real treat, it raised interest in Birmingham history.
