Thought the series of Seven Dwarves was amazing, great inspiration and I have a new found respect for people in the same or similar situations as the Fantastic 7. It would be great to see another series of Seven Dwarves.
Mummifying Alan: Egypt's Last Secret (22 comments)
Congratulations all round on last nights program, an excellent insight into past practices.
I wanted to say how much I'm enjoying this exemplary series; I really can't praise it highly enough. It's compassionate, funny and sensitive, showing us something we rarely see on television - the best of humanity, rather than the worst.
Comic Strip Presents: The Hunt for Tony Blair (10 comments)
'Pure enjoyment from start to finish: a marvellous script; wonderful acting; intelligent; witty. Congratulations Channel 4. What would we do without you?
The Story of Film: An Odyssey (9 comments)
Best programme I've seen in a long time and have enjoyed every episode to date.
The experiment with putting the show out live does not work for me - the pre-recorded shows are much better - also - sending people out of the studio is silly and not entertaining.

Can you tell me why on the million pound drop how it always seems to be young people age from 20s to 45ish?
The Joy of Teen Sex (20 comments)
Just wanted to say how inappropriate this program is... especially as its aimed at teenagers.
