Your Choice: Real or Fictional History

Let's face it. We don't have all the time in the world, so we have to make choices. Do we spend our time watching real history programmes or entertaining yarns with historical backdrops or better yet drama period thrillers which are more concerned with their basic plot than the time period they are set in. The Choice is yours.
