Lucy Worsley has a knack for packing a lot of information into a short amount of time. I just watched episode 2 of American History's Biggest Fibs, about the American civil war, which is the best and most nuanced of her six episode 'fibs' episodes. She manages to outline personal, political, social and economic aspects of the conflict with wonderful concision and precision. Keeping in mind that she is constrained by the one hour format, she squeezed a fair bit of information, albeit briefly, into the piece that Ken Burns chose to leave out in his 10 hour treatment of the subject.

The series of British fibs can be found on Youtube and the American on Dailymotion.
