Note to the presenter:
PUT SOME GODDAMN GLOVES ON WHEN YOU HANDLE 400 YEAR OLD BOOKS UNLESS YOU WANT ME TO REACH THROUGH THE TELEVISION AND PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE!
It could be worse. In the first episode he was taking liberties with the Peterborough Chronicles.
But FFS, if you're pawing through artifacts from the Mary Rose, please do not insult every historian, archaeologist and mediaevalist in your audience (or, in other words, almost all of it) by acting as though putting on gloves is an imposition.
Don't make me have to hunt you down and cut your hands off.
And Tyndale's bible was the first in English, and the first to be printed (even if not in England, and not in its entirety). The Greate Byble wasn't even the first complete printed Bible in English. That honour goes to Coverdale.
Stop making shit up, and stop getting your grubby paws over priceless artifacts.
Gah!
