Excellent and well worth watching. Some pictures and facts I'd not come across before.

The presenter certainly has the gift of the gab and it's certainly a good introduction. I'd recommend this to anyone who hadn't come across the CP before.
My only gripe is that he's neither accurate nor fair regarding John Logie Baird and that leaves one wondering why. Could it be that the presenter is reading from others works?

A couple of pics from 1853 here I had not seen before, showIng the installation of the dinosaurs.
