1. 'The Genius of Charles Darwin' DVD (PAL Region 2) Available Now

@Sherbrooke: I hear a rumour that the BBC is working on one for release in 2009, but I can't find a reference right now.

@everyone: If you've bought a copy of this, have you had any problems with it? I have the Richard Dawkins Collection (which includes the Darwin programmes), and the DVD menus don't work on a DVD player, though they do on a Mac.

2. Palin's Church May Have Shaped Controversial Worldview

"Redheaded sasquatch for Jesus"? Wow.

And amen to j s bach at Comment 8. She does indeed sound like a 15 year old.

We're doomed.

3. Discussion between Richard Dawkins and Paula Kirby

Excellent content, but can somebody please re-post this in the right format? Showing widescreen stuff in 4:3 is really annoying. And surely a video of this size can look a bit less like a bad watercolour?

Sorry to carp...

"YouTube videos don't have the best resolution (yet), not that it matters for a lecture, but give Moore's law another 20 years to exponentiate."

No need. Vimeo.com has far superior picture quality to YouTube (and even an HD option), and a much less rednecked community of users. 'Twould be good if Josh/whoever could post the videos there as well.
