As Joseph Greenawalt points out, failing to mention Philo Farnsworth is a huge omission. If you read the reviews of many of these series one of the main criticisms is how it's so focused on Germany. If they change the title to "German Contributions to Milestones in Science & Engineering" perhaps that wold be a good start, instead they try to pass off each episode as a general overview of it's subject material. Propaganda I say.

Not a single Mention of Philo Farnsworth? Most of the "Inventors" listed actually were years behind him, and in one case one of the mentioned "inventors" actually licensed the patents from Farnsworth himself after meeting with him in 1934 (two years before it's claimed he "invented" the device). For shame to whomever was responsible for the production of this video. For accurate info on the invention of Television, see this article instead of wasting your time with the inaccurate drivel in this so-called "documentary":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philo_FarnsworthThis documentary might be of interest as a good example of British nationalist propaganda, but has little other value.
