Great settings but otherwise what a let down being served up 'I think' and how many pairs of shoes a presenter can wear in an hour. This would have been a good programme had they followed the example of 'How God made the English', and importantly perhaps Diarmaid MacCulloch seems to have just the one rather beaten and much relied on hat!


I find it astonishing that you mention something like 'shoes' ... I didn't notice at all. Bettany Hughes is hardly going to wear the same shoes in India as she wears to the Ashmolean in Oxford. Given 'goddess' symbolism still seems to resonate with many people even today, I for one really enjoyed the programme. 10/10
