Elizabeth I's Secret Agents (2017)
Factually Incorrect

For a documentary, something you would expect to tell facts, it is remarkably incorrect. For example: William Cecil was never spymaster, and nor was his son, something a quick google will tell you; Walsingham, who within the first half an hour isn't mentioned, was the spymaster for a period of nearly 17 years from 1573; Cecil came from a wealthy family, with his father being an Earl, something the documentary also dismisses. It's entertaining but for the inaccuracies which meant I never finished the first episode.
