Has anyone been watching or watched the PBS documentary on Evolution....

It just started airing over here in Australia...so it might be old hat to you guys (we tend to get everything 6 months later...it really sucks) However, I have been really enjoying it, any comments?????

It was on here a couple months ago. Pretty good, though there have been some criticisms of its focus.

My favorite episode was the one in which they followed some students at a fundie college (Wheaton) where they actually teach evolution, if timidly. (The professors clearly wanted to do so openly, but their contracts forbid it.) It was quite intriguing to watch the poor students trying to open their minds to new ideas, in the face of sometimes emotionally-brutal opposition by their born-again families.
