Just finished watching a three/four part Doce series on the
life of Agatha Christie.

 I've seen a few over the years, the BBC did one a few years ago
with Lucy Worsley ... which was only okay.

 Lucy! That's the one! I liked her. Except her Lisp.

 I don't mind her lisp, but I do find her presenting style rather annoying, especially her pretence in her history documentaries that she is letting us into secrets that she's only just unearthed and that nobody else knows.

They pretty much all do that. It's even worse for documentaries about silly things like the Loch Ness Monster, Big Foot, UFOs, etc. where they claim to have "new evidence" and "proof" ... only to trot out the same old nonsense seen (and debunked as faked) hundreds of times before and never actiually prove anything, because of course it's impossible to prove the existence of some that doesn't actually exist.
