Although I'm not that into fashion as a subject, the topic of this documentary sounded too good to ignore: The dramatic change of fashion in Europe during the middle ages. 
I'm not too excited about the beginning, Visigoths being depicted as replacing elegance with poverty and barbarism.
They don't say 'dark ages', but you can hear they wanted to.

The documentary is about the witch hunt fever of the 16th century, so not Medieval.
Although, like so often, the middle ages seem to be connected to the subject and gets blamed for the burning of witches a lot.
But it was the modern era lot who are to blame!

It is fascinating to hear individual stories of the healers and local wise folk who had been part of life for centuries.
As rational and down to earth as I like to think I am, I will try this curse, draw an eye, stab it & the thief you're looking for will have eye pain!

It is presented by the late Terry Jones, who of course was part of Monty Python but later became a wonderful writer and documentary maker.
I love Terry, not just because of the way he presents but also because he reminds me a lot of my dad.

This episode is about the history of cities, how people adapted to living in them and what we can learn from our ancestors.
A few highlights;
I love hearing about how we have skyscrapers today and then having them compared to the centuries old towers of Italy and Yemen.

As you probably noticed, I've been slightly obsessed with Neanderthals lately so when this one popped up I jumped in.
It's an easy to watch documentary that starts with a nice reconstruction of how the bones in the Neanderthal were found.

Pretty soon the documentary starts explaining that the idea of the dumb cave dwelling savage is nonsense.
YES, that's exactly what I like to hear.
Go Neanderthals.
Humans really like thinking everybody who came before them was worse than they were.
