It has to be said, I do. Always lots of fantastic, really interesting documentaries and generally I feel like I’m learning things when I watch, rather than getting dumber.
Right now I’m mainly loving the current season on BBC Four called “Inside the Medieval Mind“. The trailer for it alone is a brilliant Early Music rendition of a Jimi Hendrix song – you can see the trailer on the BBC website and even download the mp3 of the music!
Info from the beeb:
The music used in the trail is Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix – played on various medieval instruments. Tam Nightingale, musical co-ordinator on the project, said he chose Purple Haze as he thought it to be “the quintessential psychedelic track.”
Earlier in the week I caught Steven Fry and the Gutenberg Press which was of course great, I’ll happily watch anything with Mr Fry in it but this was very interesting stuff. If you rush you can still watch it on the BBC iPlayer (if you’re in the UK that is).
