I could have watched it - forewent it in favour of something else far less nerve-racking... I can't stand this kind of stuff, no matter who endorses it, LOL.
I've just finished the book, btw - let me tell you that you should read at least chapters 8 to 11, especially the ones about "The 'good' book and the changing moral zeitgeist" (chapter 8, why the Bible isn't exactly a good example for good morals) and "What's wrong with religion? Why be so hostile?" (chapter 9) - those two chapters are absolutely great. Very much to the point, very forward, very straight and when I read them I kept thinking 'so that's why I've always felt like this...'
There's also one about Childhood, abuse and the escape from religion.
If you've read these three chapters, and there's hardly any Darwinian biology left in those anymore, it's much more philosophy in everyday language, then you know the most importent content of the book.
I don't claim to have understood every word in it, but for the most part I've received answers I was expecting.

Grrr! I still don't have 1 yet!! I will get them tho. I watched 2 espisodes on t.v. here on some weird channel and I loved them!
Seriously the climax to this season includes stuff and people from the last three seasons and all the spinoff shows. The a NEWWhoverse extravaganza!
And Mariann - last night's episode even had a cameo by Richard Dawkins!
Missed it! Again!
Is this the point to tell you about BBC's new iPlayer?
