To wish someone would make a documentary about the evolution of society?

[Shanny81]

I find it fascinating. From cavemen to tribesmen to road building, farming ... religion ... to Tudor’s to victorians ... church building and advanced architect ... why has no full documentary been done about this?? Or have I just missed it?

I too love history. But it’s too much for one documentary.
Or even a mini-series.

I guess because the sheer amount of content - it would be about 10 hours long?

These were the kinds of programmes the BBC used to make until they decided to concentrate on talent shows, soap operas and cooking programmes.

I'm sure there have been documentaries covering this.
More people should watch....and then maybe so many wouldn't vote Tory...😂

It would be impossible to cover everything in a single series. And the perspective would very much depend on which historian(s) were chosen to write and present it.

Simon Schama did A History of Britain some years ago. Don't know if that's available anywhere.

Kenneth Clark's Civilisation is on i-player.

@Hingeandbracket such brilliant series - we were shown them as part of our university course in the 90s (studied architecture)
