AIBU in thinking BBC Radio 4's "History of the world in 100 Objects" is....

...worth the BBC licence fee alone?
it is amazing, inspiring, wonderful. Wanted to share.

Def NBU. I've only caught a few of them, but they're excellent. Even went and looked at the picture of the object yesterday, and it was just how I'd imagined it.
Love the name btw (am married to a physicist ) wish I'd thought of it first! Only I'm too old I've outgrown my kitten stage, and am now def a Sex Cat.

Not at all unreasonable. I sat in the car after walking the dogs, just to hear the end of todays!

OOH when is it on?

Usually a r4 addict but have had to go cold turkey after NY since dp was whinging that he never got to listen to r2 as I was always listening to R4 and it was 'Boring" so took a break to appease him.Am going mad from crap pop music/inane dj overload.

Is it on the listen again fcility,may have to have a sneaky listen on pooter earphones while he is happy watching those interminable cop shows,Police interceptor stop camera action car chasey thingummy.

It's great. The kind of thing that radio does spectacularly well - it's just wonderful.

i swooooon when it comes on. they're doing a big breakout on it, it's on cbeebies, bbc2, t'internet, everything.

It's such a simple yet brilliant idea.

Wish I'd thought of it...

i did think of it, actually. some years ago. mentioned it to a tv producer pal who declared it 'a bit boring'.

I hate it when that happens...And it has, to me as well, although not about 100 Objects.

Yes, it's all in the execution. I suppose it could be a bit boring, but the way it is done is excellent and that Neil McGregor chap (head of British Museum and presented of the programme is very good.

Mavis - it's on every morning about 9.30 ish.
