I asked my colleagues earlier today if anyone saw the superb David Attenborough documentary about the recently made public 47 million year old fossil found some 25 years ago in Germany that indicates a link between prehistoric creatures to humans.

They didn't seem to know what I was talking about and then carried on to discuss last night's Britains Got Talent.

The best channel for good educational documentaries is BBC 4. They've had some brilliant programmes on recently.

Have you seen the program on Beowulf? It was fantastic! I have seen the site at Sutton Hoo and the man who was reciting the poem was great! He really brought it to life.

I love BBC4 they have some wonderful music documentaries too! The latest poetry programs have been an eye opener. More of these programs please! biggrin.gif

unfortunately I missed it, but as BBC 4 always repeats things I should get to watch it at a later date. Also; there is iPlayer.
