I am watching The Culture Show due to 1) there being nothing else on, and 2) there was a section on Beowulf. I don't think I will be wacthing again.
It seems to be designed to sneer at anything it profiles. Especially anything 'old', like Beowulf, or anything British, like many of the lead actors in US tv.
The Beowulf section was especially annoying. The presenter seemed to have nothing but disdain for the poem, didn't comprehend why it might be filmed. The interview with Neil Gaiman was derisory in its lengths, considering they went onto interview the woman who wrote a novel based on the film. In Second Life of course, as she is 'interview shy' (so don't interview her), about the importance of myth! Which really, they would have been far better of talking to Neil Gaiman about, considering what he writes.
