I too love documentaries and used to love Discovery Channel before they turned into the disgrace they are now.
However, it's a really showstopper for me when a documentary is dated and with the subjects that I find interesting ( tech, economy) documentaries are dated pretty fast.
Watching anything on these subjects more than 1 year old is like whaching a documentary on ancient history.
- DanBC 13y agoThe BBC has the long running tv documentaries "Horizon". Some of these are excellent. I would really like to see the BBC making use of this archive material by re-running old episodes, perhaps with discussion from the scientists involved before hand talking about advances since the programme was made or where they went right / wrong. Or perhaps the BBC could have a topic and collate clips from all the previous episodes to show how acience has tackled that topic over the years. There's. Brilliant radio programme called "The Reunion" which does something similar for news and current affairs. Here's their episode about Dolly the Sheep. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01mhsdw http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01mhsdw Here's their episode about the centre for alternative technology http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01s393k http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01s393k The format works well for the political stuff because the presenter (Sue MacGregor) is a respected journalist and was working at the time, and distance from events means people explain and explore without being so invested in a political position.
