Saw this this morning, interesting 6 minute story about ... jeans. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id= … rPromoArea
That was great George. Thanks.
I'd have loved to see some more about the guy who goes hunting in old mines for denim and again more on 'Roy'. His jeans looked like some real no frills working denim.

That's what sucks about this show Liam, they are barely able to scratch the surface in the time alloted to each story. Last week they did The Beach Boys and they didn't say anything that even the most casual of fans wouldn't know.
Most things in the media are dealt with on a very superficial level, it's dumbing down for people who have a short attention span.
What pisses me off at the moment is the practice that has developed recently in TV documentaries where you are treated to a short reprise of what the program is about each time it restarts after a commercial break. There's an obvious assumption that the audience is so thick that after 3 or 4 minutes of advertisements they will have forgotten what they were watching.

Or buggered off to watch some reality crap!
Bit light, but worth 6 mins of my time. Always interesting to see that sort of stuff, an hour on a couple of pieces from discovery through the whole dating ect would be a great program.

Many of the BBC documentaries are particularly dumbed down and unwatchable.
When you think of the 70s: Inventions, The Tribal Eye, Survival and the epic World At War, you realise how utterly lacking today's documentaries are.
