The Romantics - David Tennant

[@EcHeLoN5242]

I concur, this would have helped me greatly in my Civilization class...who would forget Rousseau if it is played by David Tennant?

[@MeBeMat]

I don't necessarily agree with all his ideas but with a lot of them, I've been studying him in conjunction with Romantic poets and in context his ideas are very sound, on here they seem a bit simplified but still. Plus it's David Tennant, not only is he the only guy I'd turn for but he's a terrific actor

[@annwags]

Thank you. Pity we can't see all of it, on the other side of the pond. It's not even out on dvd??

[@homestar4ever]

[@AdventuresInTimeandPlace]

i want david tennant to magically appear in my dinning room too!

[@MoyashiFukadai]

i want to see The Romantics! looks interesting :D

[@katecraft]

I'm sure this would make lots of sense if I had any idea what they were on about lol. And again, David is lovely as ever.

[@maythemoonshine]

Thanks for posting, but where's the rest?

[@lantookh]

Is this " The Romantics" by Peter Ackroyd about the poets Shelly, Coldridge and others or another show? I would like to see the one made by Peter Ackroyd.

Who's playing Denis Diderot? He looks very familiar. Interesting clip.

Hmm, I agree about mankind being bound in chains, but as for science being 'evil' - a bit extreme. I wonder what Rousseau would make of some of the progress made now- OK, some of it might be a bit wrong, but people are surviving illnesses much longer and living longer. And yes, David is gorgeous! But at least I paid attention. I haven't managed to find this anywhere since it was on TV and I missed this ep when it was repeated, so thanks.

Russeau: He was Emo before it was cool.

[@Joe-tt1le]

Thats one of the great contradictions of the romantic ideal. Wordsworth and COleridge both urged people to put away books and education and embrace nature, even though they were both cambridge students, and massively well read. they wanted the future to progress, but wanted progress to go backwards, and take them all back to a time pre-civilisation. a lot of their ideas werent that well thought out tbh but they were revolutionary at the time.

he dissolved into regeneration engery!

[@patbread]

What's the program talking about? Sorry, my english not so good;-)

[@pennypyro42]

holy crap i found this on Jean-Jacques Rousseau's bday...

[@emavrick]

ok..woooo...that's was like watching the blair witch project(which i couldn't sit through more than 5 mins. cause i didn't like the way it was shot) and this is no exception. let's get past the marvelous david tennant, who is well magnificent and can make anything worth a bit watching....which is exactly what he did for this. (continued)

@skipper8257 well if you tilt your head to the left you see a face. it means lawl or rofl,or lmao, or roflmao..... XD

[@stlouisphile]

Oh gosh! Pay not attention to the truck in the background...in 1749 (2:34 sec) and the bus and highway. I"m going to venture that this was a low budget endeavor. Good to see DT though.

[@caradejaula85]

muy bueno el video. pero no entiendo demasiado el inglés... uffff

[@leckerwurstbrot]

Fweely emotional fwench philosopher Wousseau on weason, fweedom and his wevelation that man has built himself a pwison... Sewious subject but, sowwy, something about the pwesentation seems widiculous to me. Actually vewy neawly made me wofl :D

[@rachelmb417]

O.K, sorry, but can someone PLEASE get whoever is doing the voice over a freaking speech therapist?

[@sparkkle2]

I love David... but the narrator sounds like Droopy Dog O_o.

[@emavrick]

what's up with the stoned like vision? and the confusion. i mean are we going back in time or are we setting the story in modern day and the poets are visiting us in real time? it makes the ideas of the philosophers and the reciting of tennant a bit less...or out of pace. i feel like i should be watching a crime drama about some kid getting taken(which is horrible indeed). not the best work i've seen......
