The Blitz Witch
46 Answers
Did anyone watch this last night? Tony Robinson investigated a psychic called Helen Duncan, and whilst he came to the conclusion that some of her seances were probably 'fixed', he could not explain how, in 1941, she revealed that HMS Hood had sunk - a fact that even the Admiralty was unaware of. Since her claim sunsequently proved to be accurate, MI5 became involved and she was seen as a threat to national security. She was arrested and tried at the Old Bailey under the Witchcraft Act of 1735, and sentenced to a period of imprisonment.

I don't mean that as an insult, but that he has conveyed what he wanted to. The fact that he is being spoken about and that you now believe in his credulity means he did rather a good job.
As you said hes an actor - but I would question who was "none to bright"

Dave, I'm not sure if you're talking to me here, but if you are, I don't know what you mean. I like Tony Robinson very much, and I haven't questioned his intelligence, or his credibility - and neither have I described him as an actor - although of course, amongst other things, he is. I've simply come to the conclusion that there could, after all, be a very rational explanation for the information this woman imparted.
