Hi all,

Raddy provided some interesting programmes that look fantastic to me.

"Show your kid Cosmos by Sagan, or Jim Khalil on Chemistry, or Eureka (physics - Youtube) and you kid might be like little'un and know more about science in 5 hours than you managed to glean in 5 years at High School poring over books. He might actually grasp quite complex scientific concepts - like Kepler's discovery of elliptical orbits which my son's teacher is quite proud to know nothing about! Same is true for history - you in the US are lucky to have Ken Burns. Same is true for literature) If they fire his interest he might just want to get stuck into the paper himself."

Do any of you have recommendations along the same lines? We don't watch a lot of TV because DS is freaked out by the ads, but in the last two weeks, we found Bang Goes the Theory on BBC and love it! I'm realizing that we can find the titles easily on Youtube.

TIA.
