Did you ever see the BBC series 'The Power of Nightmares' by Adam Curtis?
Hi Peter. No I didn't, but thanks to Google Video I'm rapidly making up for the deficiency! Thanks for the tip.
Returning to the optimism/pessimism debate, I remember in 1985 watching the BBC's Edge of Darkness and
thinking it unbearingly pessimistic.
Now a quarter of a century later, the way the series was positioned seems to have been 100% on target.
