Hi Rhiannon,
I also enjoyed the show. I guess they could only say so much in one hour and had to pitch it to the widest possible audience.
One thing I think the show was spot on about was the idea that when looking at prehistory or modern history, it is the transitional periods that are by far the most interesting.
I liked the ideas regarding the crouched position. I'd quite like the idea of being sent off to the afterworld sprawled out on my sofa with mug of tea by my side and the remote control for the telly clasped in my hand.
cheers
