I love a good documentary and own dozens.

There's a great new one out now called Dragons or Dinosaurs, Creation or Evolution which imo demolishes the already tottering edifice of evolutionary beliefs in dinosaurs being millions of years old, a must watch imo. Of course most of you will disagree with the conclusions but not because of the evidence which is damning of the religion of evolution, but rather because of your blind faith that the scientists are telling you the truth.

Less controversial but still fun is Simon Schama's History of Britain. I often put these on as bedtime listening, great series.

Any of Michael Palin's travel dvd's are good too.
