Agree that the S Flanders could have been better, but it was still worth watching.
However, saw this the other night and there were more “answers” in 1 hour than the whole economics series. Was a little surprised at how economic ,and political, the programme was ( put it on just to watch big stuff being built). But thinking about it afterwards, it’s not that surprising that it seemed more relevant and appropriate than political theory from 100 years ago.

On a similar note as a bit of a PSA, this was good telly too and is shaping up to be a pretty impressive series, even with Marr involved.
