Hopefully catch it on youtube later. Looks good.
The problem with fantasies is you can't really insist that everyone else believes in yours, the other problem with fantasies is that most believers of fantasies eventually get around to doing exactly that.

Just finished watching episode 1 and its gets 10/10 
Alice Roberts erudite and enthusiastic as usual, explaining how we started walking upright and the hands of the tool user developed.
I hope our friends from across the pond get to see it (other than on youtube) but given the constant references to evolution I suspect it may not. Interestingly it was not a co-production with an American company as quite a few science programmes have been in the past.
Definitely one for the watch list!

The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.

I absolutely loved it!
One of the best tv programmes on human evolution I've ever seen. Very interesting to see which anatomical changes have propelled our evolution.
And of course, Alice Roberts is, as always, divine. I particularly enjoyed the part about her gluteus maximus...

It was a terrific show, I only hope some of the ID crowd were giving it a watch, as I am sure she mentioned evolution and natural selection a couple of times

Why would you do that? Her sexy voice only adds to the joy

Didn't the U.S. start out as a group of British colonies?
