Fantastic.
Reminds me of a program I saw on channel 4 a few years back. It was a history program about Hernandez Cortez and the conquistadors but it was hosted by a bloke who looked a bit like Denis Leary, he was never without a cigarette in his mouth and a beer in his hand. It was what I think would have happened if Oliver Reed had taken up history instead of acting.
Anyway, he rambled on through the history, staggering through the streets of Mexico getting progressively more pissed. It culminated in him gathering a group of native Mexicans who could trace their ancestors back to the Aztecs, dressing them up in traditional warrior gear then trying to 'take back' a fort. Much to the chargrin and bewilderment of the security guards on duty there. It was hilariously entertaining but I think I was laughing too much to actually take in the history.
Can't remember the blokes name or the name of the program. Unfortunately, as far as i'm aware, he hasn't been on TV since. He needs to be given a series right now. Any help in identifying this god among men would be greatly appreciated.
