The Mark Steel Lectures - Aristotle (online video)
Posted there are YouTube videos of a 2004 BBC FOUR lecture series. Mark Steel offers us a bloody hilarious introduction to Aristotle. Filmed on location in Athens the producers use several devices including Aristotle himself - albeit a 21st century incarnation. In half an hour a general history of ancient and hellenic Greece is delivered, followed by a fairly detailed and enthusiastic biopic of Aristotle and a few related personages. The BBC editors had a field day digging for stock footage to illustrate Steel's incessant gags - from nature programmes and current (or past) affairs - a major theme apparently being political satire, and ridicule of eighties television personalities (? I know, wtf ?...) Thoroughly enjoyable. Laugh while you learn.
