1. I watched this series a few months ago...
and it is quite interesting. Try to find the supplemental programs the BBC made after this aired that played the full interviews with Dawkins, Dennett, Miller etc. It's definitely worth a watch as well

3. The Beeb and Jonathan Miller did a good job putting this together
I doubt we would see such a fair and balanced as well as a thoughtful program about atheism here in America even on PBS

8. I emailed FreeSpeech Tv regarding the program...
.as well as Dawkins "Root Of All Evil." which is also grand.

You can find MP3s of these shows but I don't remember where. I think it was on the web somewhere.

Sorry. I forgot to follow the link in the OP or I would have seen them right there for download.

4. Banned?
Where did you read/hear this? I've got a friend who insists things like that never happen.

6. As stated on FreeThought radio on the 12th...
Edited on Tue May-15-07 04:53 AM by and-justice-for-all
...Certain broadcasters in Wisconsin refused to air the program. If you have Itunes you can listen to it or it might be availible on the FreeThought Radio website.

5. Does anyone here know if this is available as a DVD?
I'd like to see this in higher resolution. Also, the sub/supertitles are quite difficult to read in this version.

9. Thanks for the suggestion.
It probably took ~8 hrs. to download & save all six segments, but it was worth it. Played on it's own player, it doesn't look bad. Learning how to 'burn' DVDs is something I've put off for far too long. Next project!

I just took a peek at the other selections. It might take me another hour or two going through that list. Any recommendations?

on Bill Moyers Journal a week or so back -- you can view it online.
