I was in a Pyramid and later at the hotel in Cairo with my then girlfriend, we shared the dinner table with two guys also on holiday together, they lived in Devon and encouraged us to visit them in Devon and adding that they had no intention of ever coming to Essex, we did visit them in Devon & they didn't visit us in Essex. Their loss.

Always has me in tears, mad as a box of frogs 😂😂😂

"Martin Luther was a bit of a spoilsport..etc." 😃 Great Meades.

Nein! I’m flippin’ didn’t!

If Brits love and value their oaks so much why are there no oak forests on their nature depleted island?

I'm an agnostic but I find his rejection of a God by claiming that the world we have is the result of human intelligent design to be vacuous. Humans have manipulated the natural environment but they did not create the natural world. Indeed, they are merely part of that world.

When a TV programme could be made were it does not treat the viewer like they have little idea of any concept. These days we get talked down too.

Sorry Peter. Life can be a creulllll mirteryyyys 😂

Reagan liked to make speeches and anecdotes that were befitting of a film, which is only natural. His audience swallowed it up, to a point. He meant well but like brighter predecessors he missed the point or failed to see the long term consequences of any action he took. More important than just acting decisively.

The english roasting the germans as always lol 20:18 "hippies in uniforms" "armed bohemians" this is hilarious.

Still sharing and educating. Please also watch Hypernormalisation by the same amazing human.

This documentary is amazing but that opening fucks, fucks hard.

who is here for burial

I think Clarkson learned a lot from this guy's style.

to those still watching this; I emplore you to look up "Once upon a time in Iraq"

The relationship between dyslexia and handedness is not what most are thinking. These are older interpretations. Lateralization of the brain is on a continuum, be the brain left or right dominant. What is true is those with dyslexia more often than not don’t show ear dominance (right eared vs left eared). So there CAN BE atypical less dominance of one hemisphere in language processing structures. . Finally keep in mind that the less a study is hard science (eg staining brain tissue to trace connections) and the softer the study (eg please self report your allergy and autoimmune pathologies) the more likely the study will be affected by the replication issue that plagues the neurosciences. Half of the neuroscience papers published (affecting softer areas much more) can’t be repeated by an outside lab. Even when the data can be replicated by an outside lab, the results are usually much less robust than reported in the original study. So, there is an issue of cherry picking data and confirmation bias that is well documented in the neurosciences. Always be a skeptic. It’s the safest path.

beautiful. very harrowing. unique. full of love

In 1950's my left handed brother was forced by one teacher to write with right. So at home he wrote with left. Twisting his hand/wrist into an upside down curve to compensate trying to get the letters correctly oriented Like a right handed person would do.

I am right handed. . yet...I can draw and paint with left hand. When I use left hand..I find that I am more hyper focused. Can be more precise . More creative.

❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧😻🙏

it's always strange when people say that Earth is changed by nature or by man as if we're not nature

Errors in the subtitles: exultation instead of exaltation, services instead of surfaces, a plant instead of plant, are found instead of abound, stab-me-vitals instead of stap-me-vitals

Very daring stuff - all credit to the BBC decision maker who allowed him to make this. I think most modern TV execs wouldn’t understand the elaborate postmodern prank here, let alone authorise its relatively enormous budget for an arts programme. Bravo Meades - he is unabashedly intellectual and always wilfully obscure. He doesn’t give a damn if you don’t get the joke.

Dentys bin on the sauce all day........matt berry is a fookin genius 😂

What a nice surprise to see Christopher Biggins as Victoria! He was evidently loving every minute.

No, I did not ride that bull, I'm back in Paris now. But don't worry guys, because Adam will do the job just fine. I went to the place where I got my first kiss.. with that ginger boy Charlie. In a orchard. We were both 6 years old it wasn't an ordinary kiss like kids do and runaway. It was more.. like a French kiss with the tongue and when you're done you can't even walk straight. I was like let's do like adults, kids stuff were boring for me. And we continued until we were 12/13 when I went there during vacations in summer. I remember the taste, everything like it was yesterday. At first, I thought it was disgusting and.. it is. But I got used to it. And the fact that it was forbidden and our parents didn't know what were doing made it even more exciting. One time, I remember, I left his house to go back where I was and he ran behind me and we kissed in the midle of a desert road with the sunset, the insects flying aroubd like in movies 😂😂 b* I thought I was the main character in a forbidden/impossible love story Adam has a ginger beard, Brown hair with Red reflection (depends on the light) and green eyes. Mmmh. Plus he looks like that guy. I mean.. '' looks like '' 😂 20 years later. I heard him talking (Charlie) but I didn't go see him, I was too busy observing the oak trees. Guess I'm back to the roots...

I❤ it!! Wabi-sabi in full splendour.

Is 2007 right? Last frame of the video says 2006.

No mention of the Floozy in the Jacuzzi ?

Denteyyy

"Colonial hopping dog". 🤣🤣😂🤣

When my father was child his family tried to change him from being left handed. He started to stutter. When they quit forcing him to use his right hand he quit stuttering.

This is one of his best. He is hypnotic in his presentation, and although he unashamedly uses very educated language which might give some people pause, he’s also incredibly funny.

The topographical sensibilities of geological happenstance Mr Meades, a formidable Scrabble opponent, no doubt

Don't diss the bridie, Meades ... food of the gods 😄

No holds *barrrrrrrrrred*

Brilliant documentary. I was a regular visitor to the tricorn centre, so sad to see it demolished. It definitely had a functional value to it that was ignored simply because of, as meades states, taste. It seems that some of the latter commenters here either weren’t paying attention to the narrative or are, through being convinced of the validity of their own tastes, too jaded to accept the arguments put forward.

welp i guess werner got to use up his leftover found footage and outsider music. i like dourif, but it was so lazy and annoying to make him the lead and playing up his annoying cali accent and mannerisms. if you have a big screen tv just turn the sound off, go about your housework & take a look at the images now and then.

He made up that stuff about the finch-singers, the underwear museum and the penguin man - surely?

Loved this series, particularly the Aberdeen episode (I studied there and it's very nostalgic for me).

Precies op mijn 🐸

This was a fascinating documentary and I feel like sharing some of my anecdotal experiences; I am Left Handed, the only one in my immediate family, I was never diagnosed with dyslexia but certain parts of my childhood now make so much more sense as I, even though being able to read and speak, rarely opted to speak till I was 4, instead opting for visual representation or enactment of what I was trying to say. For instance, when asked what my elder sibling was doing, instead of replying that he's asleep, I'd fall to the floor and act that he was asleep. I am fluent in reading and writing, as well as speech. I have done a little public speaking as well and It seems to come naturally to me (apart from a little stage fright on the initial couple instances), though sometimes (and very rarely) I do have trouble speaking certain words that I have fluently spoken in the past countless times. I have also been relatively good with 3D visualisation, about how objects and shapes would look like when frame of reference is rotated, or at an angle, or combination of both, to the extent that I can see a shape and image it from any frame of reference in a 3D space. I just assumed it's natural for everyone to do so but found out that it wasn't the case when I grew up and interacted with other people. Also, though not explored further in the documentary due to lack of means to prove it, I do believe I am somewhat more "intuitive" than my peers as I just seem to arrive at right answers (generally) and find it very simple to do so but would never be able to explain my precise reasoning behind it, only being able to sort of explain some allied concepts at play but not how they link together in my mind to give me the answer. It's like just knowing that 2+2=4 but not being able to explain why the mathematical operator works only in that specific way to give you the result. This has also led to some frustration as in college I would be annoyed at why the professor is spending so much time on explaining something that is just "inherently true" rather than focusing on areas where students need their guidance, wondering why my peers are unable to grasp the concept at hand and require explanation from multiple viewpoints to make them understand. From a family background point of view, my paternal side has a history of rheumatoid arthritis, including my Grandma and my Father though thankfully I don't seem to affected, or at least none of the symptoms have appeared as of now (I am in my mid 20s). I also don't fall sick very often, but somehow like clockwork in the past 10 years out of 12 I have fallen sick around a particular time of the year, the only time I'd be down with a high fever though that said, It seems I am a little sensitive in my nose and would wake up in my morning with a bad case of sneeze for a couple of hours before it goes back to normal, or when there's too much oregano on the pizza. I have deduced that the former usually happens when the Air Conditioner has been blowing cold air on my head for the entire night so I am not really sure if that even classifies as being more prone to allergies. During COVID, at multiple instances I happened to find myself in close proximity to those who were tested for positive for COVID but test after test, I was always somehow negative; even before I was vaccinated. All of these are of course, anecdotal and really in the grand scheme of things, unimportant to the nature of scientific study on the subject but the documentary just seems to explain certain things about my life such as family history of auto-immune diseases, being good at 3D visualisation and intuition, or sometimes struggle to speak a certain word that I have fluently spoken countless times before even if I consider myself to be fluent in reading and writing. Perhaps it's just conformational bias, perhaps there's actually a kernel of truth in this hypothesis. I hope Science is able to figure it out someday and explain why 1/10th of the population is left handed since eons if there isn't any advantage to it, and why 9/10th are right handed if there isn't any disadvantages to being left handed.

Hello Godburn, would you be interested in including this upload by me in your Meades playlist? It's a short slot he did about Barcelona in 1985, perhaps his first appearance on TV. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqLSkJmtl6ilaac

Thanks Godburn.

Food is something most protestants feel guilty about. Denial still permeates our culture, the stuff we shove in our bodies points to a collective self-loathing. Britain incredibly uses the words wicked and sinful to describe chocolate. The paradox is that for all our grim pragmatism about food and our antipathy to it's pleasurable potential, we in this country suffer the highest incidence in western Europe of dietethically derived illnesses, and we're rapidly catching up with the United States of America , which is world leader, we eat negligently, we choose to eat that way, we don't suffer droughts or famine or crop failures, we suffer on the contrary the consequences of plenty, circulatory and cardiac diseases, cancer, diabetes and most manifestly obesity, this is something I have knowledge of having been diagnosed as morbidly obese. It was that morbid that prompted me to do something about it , and it's something that you have to do yourself, no amount of governmental propoganda from defra death row, the food commission from the health and safety executive, can persuade us. Indeed the incidence of dietary related diseases, that seems to increase in direct proportion to the amount of health policing that we're subjected to.
