A Braveheart spoof

[Scratchy's Lass]

Mike Id reccomend a programme about Wallace called "the real braveheart" presented by Tony Robinson, to fisherman show Tony the actual site of the original bridge by using a glass jar pushed into the water (old fishermans trick) to see the remains of the original supports for the bridge. amazing stuff to see whats left of the bridge.

I did find the following. I would LOVE to see the program itself, for sure!!

In Search of British Heroes: A Companion to the Channel 4 Series Fact or Fiction
by Tony Robinson, David Willcock

About this title: Examining legendary figures from history, "In Search of" "British Heroes" seeks to reveal the truth behind the myths surrounding the great characters of our past. Tony Robinson investigates renown heroes of British history, including Boudicca, Kind Harold, Robin Hood, and William Wallace (better known as Braveheart). Although all but one died a failure, each was seen as symbolizing something great during their lifetime. Tony Robinson journeys into history to trace the true story of some of the greatest Britons that ever lived, seeking to discovering who the real people were behind the myths that surround them, and ultimately how these myths have woven themselves into our nation's character and its perception of itself.

In another thread, we were talking about the move Braveheart and Bubba mentioned the fact there was no Stirling Bridge in the movie.

When I went to see "Braveheart" in the movie theater, there were a bunch of us sitting there gasping, "Stirling? Bridge? River? HUH!?!?"

Personally, I'd rather have Snake Pliskin than old and fat Elvis...

Mike I know you have connections in the UK the documenty is repeated frequently on the Biography channel on Sky digital, If it comes on again Ill record it as it is worth watching it dispells a lot of myths and features ain interview with sir David Ross. people hav searched for years or Stirling bridge and these 2 fishermen found it just using a jam jar and a little boat.
