This series is like being able to hear a university paper for no charge; fantastic, the best of BBC. Michelangelo - incredible!

As in previous episodes, stimulating and provocative commentary - what a gem this series is, what an education!
Greg Raines
Hard to believe this series originally aired in 1969. Despite it's age the ideas it presents seem all the more potent and fresh in today's era of historical infotainment and docudrama.
Thanks for downloading this.
