Ok, next to 'The ascent of man', clearly one of the best documentaries on the evolution of mankind out there, if not the best actually. Haven't watched part 2 and 3 yet, but I will.
James Burke's way of presenting, with his bottomless dry British humor at display at full range, is just a joy to learn from. I love how his producer gave him free-play to make something of it, which is just.. fantastic. The vibe, the pace, the jabs at modern society, the questions he asks the individuals watching,... just a superb combination of everything historic, incredibly insightful, yea.. Ill most probably just watch it again when Im done with series 3.
