I personally found it interesting but a little pedestrian. The basic "economic" facts he presented are well known to anyone with only half an ear to the global markets, and the stepping stones he took to link up that (the meat of the presentation) to the cultural background (the pastry and some spice) were at times tenuous and circumstantial. There was nothing in this programme that wasn't already known, it was merely an example of making reality an entertaining romp for the articulate middle masses.
It was a bit like a fun trawl through the wikipedia with some nice music and archive footage dropped on to add a superficial sense of satisfaction to the hungry viewer. McJournalism.

- haha, quite— but McJournalism is what all those peeps who don't scour the recesses of the internet need..detritus
- Is there anyone left in the demographic this programme targets that doesn't trawl the internet though?Horp
- To that, I have no answer other than meek agreement and a typical concerns of confirmation bias and neuronal hardwiring.detritus
