Over the weekend I watched a fascinating programme on Louis XIV and his palace at Versailles - it bought history to life for me, brilliant programme.
I also recall watching a programme on T E Lawrence, that gave an insight into the middle east, and explained a lot about the hatred towards the west.
Thing is very few programmes of that calibre these days as they tend to make low end entertainment: shame really. |

It depends what programming you watch I suppose.
For instance the only thing Eastenders has taught me is to stay the fuck away from BBC 1 early evenings on week days.
Although on a positive note I have learned how to wash peoples' faces correctly and arrange stones in a decorative yet ordered manner from Makka Pakk off of the telly. |

I'm going to meet iggle piggle and makka pakka on Saturday 
th can be very educational if used correctly. It's parent who sit their kids down in front of the box for hours on end without any interaction with them that annoy me  |

"Parents who constantly put kids in front of the tv should not have had them in the first place. It takes a person ot educate a child not a machine."
Well said, but the TV does have its place if used properly. As not everyone can teach.  |

Everyone can teach their children no who they are. It happened for decades before the tv after all. Take your kids outside, let them see the world you live in and those are far better learning experiences. |

As a medium there are some very educational, informative, emotive programmes etc but...
.. also some programmes which are complete and utter sh*te, drivel and a waste of air time.
All a matter of taste and opinion of course!
TF for the off button and the radio

I also watched Atlasntis last night - was a shame they tried to turn it into a love story (like Titanic etc) but it makes it watcheable for those who dont "think" they like history.
The better program will be the follow up tonight where they have unearthed new evidence etc.
Cant wait!!!
BUT - on the other side of that - for those morons who ONLY ever watch Eastenders and Towie etc who think thats that is all what lifes about - its a bloody shame and they need to go for a walk and see what REAL life is all around them on their own bloody street |
