Anyone else watch this?

Episode one ran the time frame of 1688 to 1715. James II, The Old Pretender, and Marlborough and all that. The propaganda machine run from Paris that brought Jacobite information and slogans to England and Scotland through newspapers, poems, portrait paintings and popular song. Fair enough it could only skim over details, but I found it of interest.
I don't know if the above BBC iPlayer video will work in other countries other than in the UK, I'm afraid.
