guitarbuddha -> More from the golden ago of TV (Dec. 23 2013 21:27:51)

When I did watch TV I loved the open university. Lots of earnest men trying their best to explain their views on the subjects close to their heart and given a free rein.

The more TV channels that there are the fewer quality programmes are made. So I stopped watching since I felt that my taste was simply not being taken into consideration.

Occasionally I watch a 'documentary' on one of the 'factual' channels and get depressed by the crudity of the imposed narrative and the general lack of passion or intellectual honesty involved in the whole project.

Now I am sure that lots of people involved pride themselves on their professionalism in producing shallow and dishonest nonsense of the geography and history channel but to hell.

Anyway since some of you might have a little more time on your hands than normal and would like to watch some TV but find very little of it to be worth the effort here is the inestimable Jacob Bronowski who makes current contenders for his crown (such as Robert Winston) seem as insincere and trite as they should. And so nice to have an interviewer who does the very bare minimum to keep things moving along.

A notable contrast to today's TV, in America at least, is that Bronowski sometimes pauses to consider his answer before speaking.

Another gem was Kenneth Clark's Civilisation.
