I was not quite sure where to post this, but this looks like an interesting TV program.

Repeated on Mondays BBC4 but not sure what time it was.

From the first episode it looks quite interesting & nice to see a program looking back into the history of photography.

Saw the repeat yesterday. Looks good so far.

Just saw the second episode and recommend it, interesting as a quick overview, despite having some flaws (including some major oversimplification).

One thing I thought was really odd though... the way they did a little feature on Donovan Wylie, interviewing him and and following him around, but this being the only attempt to relate the history lessons to the work of modern photographers. No doubt Wylie's work is interesting but I'm not sure why he was the only modern photographer they could find... anyone else find this a bit inconsistent or was it just me?
