Thank you for sharing this with us. I'll definitely be buying the 'Reason' series. (A winter solstice gift to me)
One of the points I found interesting was where there was a discussion of TV 'dramatisations' and special effects made to illustrate / enhance claims in documentaries. I can see how this might make the claim appear stronger to a really naïve viewer; but I'm not sure whether it really convinces most people - I would have thought the reverse. The moment a supposed documentary resorts to a dramatisation, I almost always find the credibility of the show dropping rather than growing.
I'd be interested to know how many people find such dramatisations improve or weaken a documentary's credibility.
