S1E6 - The Philosopher
Monty Python star and medieval enthusiast Terry Jones takes us on a tour of the Middle Ages. He looks at the medieval scientist, or philosopher as they were known then, showing how they experimented on a huge scale and made key scientific discoveries. He argues that most of them had a more ethical approach than that to be found in today's commercialised world of science.

S1E8 - The King
Terry Jones takes us on a tour of the Middle Ages. He asks just how much we know about our medieval kings, taking the three king Richards as a sample. He finds that 'Good' king Richard I (Lionheart) was anything but; 'Bad' king Richard II seems to have been actually rather admirable; and 'Ugly' king Richard III was savagely disfigured by William Shakespeare.
