    INFORMATIVE

    An informative and insightful series. None of the gimmicks used to appeal to the lowest common denominator.Sit with the children and watch and learn.Done by a professional,not the usual pseudo-presenters.(just because they have won some low brow contest/show etc)

    Watch it, even if only as eye candy..

    So how do you make a six hour documentary on the history of a place as ancient, vast and diverse as the continent of India? with great difficulty I would imagine although I think this probably hasn't done too bad a job. It seems to jump around alot and often as soon as I found myself getting absorbed in something Mr Woods would be fleeting off to the other side of the country in search of the next chapter. I do feel it provides a good framework for further study/interest and will whet the appetite for anybody wanting to travel to India although it's definately not a travel guide but a historical one. Anybody with even a passing interest in India should definatly rent this if only for the fact that is visually stunning and enriching.
