Wonderful job .I'm an Arborist. I think from ground up.Dirt is my teacher.
Oops, I think I meant to post this comment to a different episode; but my point stands.
I think Burke knows this (he has alluded to it in interviews), but our understanding of the Middle Ages is now much different than it was even when he was making this series.
Burke's treatment of Aristotelianism pre-Galileo is too over-simplified. Aristotle was anything but infallible by that time; over 200 of Aristotle's claims were condemned by the Church in 1277.
In the book DTUC, Burke cites William Wallace in the bibliography. One of his main points is that Galileo's discovery about the gravitational constant was already known since the 1300s, discovered by theologians at Merton College. But they did not have the means to quantify it (they tried); Gal did.
Your "completely inaudible" at 9:05 is "Ne'er cast a clout till May be out", meaning "keep wearing your warm clothes until the end of May"
where technology plays into it , old is two weeks ago. I think Burke covers this point
Not THAT old!
I don't miss the cheesy introduction, but glad to be watching the oldies.
Personally, I think the anachronisms only add weight to the point he's trying to make. One of the great things about these shows is that the older they get the more you can see the point he's trying to make "directly" through your own experience.

Thank you for posting this online. I have been showing the video of this episode in a college class on "Literacy, Technology, and Culture" for about ten years, but it's much easier to see it here--plus I expect the poor, worn VHS to give out any day. The students love this show, BTW, even with its dated 80s-isms like the giant computers and floppy disks.
god bless the bbc
Repaired.
That's not nitpicking. That's a valuable correction. Thank you.

Not to nitpick, but he said not Leeds lord, but liegelord, that is the lord to whom you have an oath of loyalty. To wit, King Edward.
Ya, it's too bad we have to look backwards in time for "forward-looking" programs.
The nice thing about having it all here is that it's now available to *every* student on this planet, regardless of whether or not they even have access to a school.

Maternal stress throughout pregnancy can also be a trigger for ADHD. A study by McGill University gathered 203 youngsters with ADHD and examined the severity of their symptoms. Their mothers were also asked if they experienced stressful life events or complications throughout pregnancy. After examining both sets of data, the researchers found out that mothers who experienced moderate or severe anxiety in pregnancy had kids with more severe symptoms.
