It seems like 99% (and that's a conservative figure) of them are British!
Dan Snow is a much better writer than television host. His narrations always have a tabloid feel to them. Lucy Worsley and Janina Ramirez I simply adore. How the hell they have time to write as much as they do, make all these TV shows and have day jobs and lives too is a mystery to me. David Starkey often comes off as an elitist ponce, but he does know his stuff. I wouldn't argue with him. Dan Jones (a protégé of Starkey) is a lot like Dan Snow, right down to the haircut. Lauro Martines is the go-to guy for anything to do with the Medici. It's been so long since I've seen anything with Michael Wood, I can't remember if he's decent or not. Tony Robins is always fun to watch.
Who am I missing?

Lucy Worsley is a personal hero of mine. Her documentary series "Harlots, Housewives and Heroines" was one of the things that really got me into Restoration history.
Suzanna Lipscombe, too.

My favourite is Reins of Power about the horse culture of the cavaliers. She has another one on Versailles that I haven't seen yet. According to IMDB she has almost forty documentaries!
