Tone edit
The article currently reads somewhat like a press release promoting the series. Parts of it at least seem to derive from the Discovery Channel web site, thankfully with some of the more ludicrous hype toned down. Refering to Steeds as Olly is overly familiar. References to his mission, quest etc. are not appropriate. "Olly uncovers exciting new evidence" - is it really new and its excitingness is POV - "that could lead once and for all to the discovery of the Amber Room" - maybe could have done but it didn't.

- Yes, that fits. Mutt Lunker (talk) 07:52, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
