At one point the article says A History of Britain had 15 episodes, but at another point it says 18. I don't know which is correct, but hopefully another user does.

It's definitely 18, I've amended the article accordingly. 81.110.86.44

Also, it is highly unusual for a historian of Schama's stature not to have a Ph.D. How his academic career got started despite his lack of a Ph.D. seems like something the article should address.

[edit] Different photo?

I'd like to offer this as an alternative photograph to the one I put up on the main page. I'll let the people who care about this page decide which to use.

The one on the main page is better, IMO. — Matt Crypto 23:57, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
