    I used to creep down stairs in the early hours of the morning in the 1980's to watch Open University. Happy days!

      +Mike Fuller I never understood a word of it! I just liked it and admired how clever the lecturers were! I wished to be as clever!

      +Mike Fuller Me too I used to watch it as a child - goodness knows I couldn't understand it

    I used to watch them every weekend as a kid, because I got up early and there was no kid's TV on until later back then. If you wanted to watch TV early, only this was ever on lol.

    We need more intellectually stimulating television programmes like this, and less X Factor.

      Absolutely - TV has gone downhill since those days - chasing the lowest common denominator - sad really ...

      Can't be done.
      The initial audience would require skills for every new TV show the likelihood that the whole audience can watch and comprehend is very low.
      Someone needs to collate all stimulating programs into a youtube guide.

    I actually remember watching this - it would have been one of its last TV showings in the mid 2000s (maybe this showing?) when I was a sleep-deprived teenager. Didn't quite get all of it but interesting to watch!

      i think i must've taped this slightly earlier than that - I remember watching it with my housemates 2000/2001/2002?
      Pretty impressive that these old shows had such longevity anyway

  • @gpcrawford8353
    @gpcrawford8353 7 лет назад +4

    Left school with no exams ,didn't like the style of teaching , used to watch these to see what I was missing got married and worked all hours god sent bang went watching them . Much later on I was recovering from severe ear infection and surgery read a book forget title in which it claimed that time is relative and gravity is a fictitious force. This was contrary to what I learned in school,I liked science there, got into special relativity and tried to understand general relativity still trying geometry on a sphere is the key but alas the mathematics is still beyond me. Learnt a lot about Einstein the man though .

    Thanks for uploading ... Do you have anymore videos in the series?

    • @MarsHareMarshAir
      @MarsHareMarshAir 10 лет назад +1

      Afraid not, I taped over a lot of subjects after I later studied them so mostly history and nature docs left.

    i think euclid refered only to a straignt line in his parallel postulate. . a line drawn on a globe is not straight so the postulate do not apply.

    This is dumb. Euclid's postulates are valid IN Euclidean space.
