As you might expect from this media ex-historian, this is absolute tripe which completely misses the point of an historical education. I will comment more at length in future, but for now see what you think. For me, the fundamental mistakes and inevitable self-contradictions stem from the myth of 'relevance', and the idea that history should be used to create some sort of national identity/consciousness. Rather than British history, I'd say that in the current context European history ought to be the basic building block, building out to world history.
