I would concur with that . Watched his programmes about Dieppe and PQ17 and to be fair he does concentrate on the topic, rather than him/herself , with his own inimitable style of commentary. Guy Martin is another whose unique and unpretentious style makes for entertaining viewing.

I didn't watch the programme because, whilst the topic(s) may well be of interest, frankly, any programme that has the initial D S as the presenter invariably means said presenter ensures the content is focussed on himself.
