Al Kahili would have done a better job.

He did a fair stab and I enjoyed it but the subject was inevitably episodic and didn't have the exciting sense of mounting climax that the programme on chaos theory had. But isn't it remarkable that TV, so well equipped to do this sort of thing, is finally stirring its stumps?Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-19169459663550952582010-01-23T10:09:57.392+00:002010-01-23T10:09:57.392+00:00CC That's good to know.

One of the reasons I can enjoy such things now is that it doesn't actually matter if I don't fully understand everything I'm told - at school that used to induce a paralysing sense of panic. Now I can allow myself just to relish the words and images and the mystery. I find I read quite a lot of history of science too.<br /><br />We pay a lot for the Presse to get us a Radio Times every week which we don't really need, mostly for the sudoku and the crossword.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-38074253709410598062010-01-22T22:53:53.602+00:002010-01-22T22:53:53.602+00:00Isn't it fascinating that with some maturity c...Isn't it fascinating that with some maturity comes the appreciation for learning!
