Reviews

  • 'Always lively and engaging, with a clear point of view but not dismissive of alternative perspectives, Stuff the British Stole is illuminating and at times infuriating — but Fennell's soulful likeability makes it pleasurable even when hearing about the worst in history.'

    – Your Week in TV, The Age

  • 'Mystery show first, a travel show second and then a history show third. You need those elements to bring people along for the ride, nobody wants to be lectured about the past, but everybody loves a treasure hunt.'
