“Fem stjärnor blev till två när de i 101:a avsnittet antydde att en kamera var något som endast män hade systematisk tillgång till fram till 2010. Snacka om att förvandla något bra till rent blaj. Producenten lät det vara kvar förmodligen i rent sensationssyfte.
Jag vet inte varför jag förväntade...”Read full review »

“Im keen of listening to the BBC, a very informative podcast with formal British accent, such as BBC radio 4.
During the process of learning English especially the culture of Great Britain, Im looking for the transcript to assist my learning.

“I am listening to this for the third time, and often recommend it to people. It shows the commonality of humankind, and is entertaining, educational and provides a perspective on the world and our brief time on it… Can I give it 6 stars? I would if I could…”

“BBC should have left the original 100 objects
Instead they decided to commission the wokefest that is the 101st object. “I have 5 people who I call my best friends ……. I’ve never actually met them”
Lord have mercy if this is the future of the human race.”

“Each episode uses a single museum artefact as the focus of a portrait of a part of human history from the first flint axes to the present day. Guest experts talk about the item and its context. The series moves all over the world.
The series moves in rough chronological order, so best listened...”Read full review »
