Although this programme works as well as an aerobic class -raising the blood pressure to stratospheric heights, we keep watching it.
A very subjective view of what is a snob last week. In the end after much discussion we decided that this was probably because Seb. Faulkes and possibly the production team were just too young to have known enough about class division to be able to pick a real snob correctly. Jeeves is a consummate professional as is Bond.Snobs? No.
For a real crashing supersnob try Lady Montdore in Love in a Cold Climate by Nancy Mitford whose book should have been included.

I thought the series worked brilliantly at aiming to engage people of all ages and backgrounds to read. Once you can identify with something and it feels real, you are naturally intrigued to explore. I think there should be more programmes such as this on television especially targeting young people. I was disappointed to find there are only four parts- I think you could continue to pull apart human traits and we could have a series two!

Brilliant series. This is what we pay our licence fee for. Please make more interesting series like these!

One thing to note, just finished reading The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and noticed that in The Snob episode, the book is incorrectly referenced. Mary MacGregor does not get killed in the Spanish Civil War. She dies in a hotel fire, running "hither and thither".

It is the new girl to the school, Joyce Emily, originally anti-Franco, who goes to Spain and gets killed during an attack on a train there. Miss Brodie later admits she regrets urging Joyce Emily to go to spain to actually fight for Franco.

Sebastian Faulks was writing on fictional characters of which one of the greatest and oldest was Ö÷²¥´óÐãr's Odysseus . So I wrote to S Faulkes and of course no reply that what impact would it have if like Schliemann only did Troy exist but so did Odysseus . I can historically and archaeologially prove that Odysseus was were he first says he was , a captive in Egypt for 8 years where he and his men laboured under duress. It was only when he discovered his wife might be considering to take a lover/husband that he changes his tune to that of an alibi. Ö÷²¥´óÐãr only recorded what he'd heard. So her is fiction that was in fact fact. Yet for all my efforts to the scholarly world no one as et as said ,'Show us your proof'.

Is Genesis & Exodus fact or fiction. Now there is a little known book that will prove these two books of the Torah/Bible are very accutate histories. Even Noah's flood which is not taken from the Gigamesh legend but rather the Gilgamesh legend can be shown to have been taken from Noah's true tale. Let me assure you Noah did see his world covered by water, for I put it to you, how would a flat world person react to going over the horizon where he literally sees the waters rising up . However and more importantly what these two books do prove is there never ever was a God as we would be led to believe. There was a God of Noah & Abaham an he can be found whilst he God of Moses was Moses paying the charlatan. As for the book .It's entitled 'Finding Moses the man that made God Isbn 9780953943715

I agree with you, greenshetland, exactly what we pay our licence fee for! I have thoroughly enjoyed this series - it's excited me about a few classics I've missed (who is this loveless fellow?) and sparked some interesting debates with my fella - who too believes Bond should have been in the hero category; and (should i say it?) I felt Barbara from "Notes" got a raw deal being categorised as a villain.
As if that's not enough - I think it's been great to 'get to know' mr faulks a little better. Oh how we would relish his company in our book club. As long as he promised to wear something other than that pink shirt...!
Happy reading everyone
