Some of the greatest telly ever made

Splendid use of Carter Burwell's score from 'Fargo' (1996) too..

Absolutely no question. The best programmes of the 90's, by a genuine polymath.

He lived round the corner from me, some years ago. Very interesting guy.

Everything Meades is great 🙌

Dumbing down rules. No room for dry eccentric observational programs by people who know their stuff and expect you to know a little too.

His documentaries are so vivid. On food, regeneration or architecture (love his description of Cuthbert Broderick's Leeds Town Hall) he was a joy to watch.

Oh yes!

"It tattoos your retina" ❤️

Hilarious aswell as thought provoking and educational

Superb. I just wish the BBC repeated him more often

Another one disappeared... be way over many people's heads .

Simon Schama basically stole his presenting style lock stock and barrel.

I have a bunch of his stuff on dvd and others used to be available on vimeo. Definitely time for a rewatch....

It was quality stuff.

His books are fabulous too.

Carter Burwell's music from Fargo helps

The glory days when the BBC had a blanket music license and you could you a Carter Burrell score in your show for free!

His programme on Belgium is brilliant
