I don 't know if anyone saw this excellent programme and the discussion afterwards....about the ideas around: were or how were the Jews exiled in the First Century AD....and Jewish identity....

did indeed see chunks of both film and discussion ... an excellent exploration of identity and ideology, focused on Jewishness, Zionism etc but could as easily been about the myths and narratives of Englishness ... discussion was a lesson in debate with manners, disagreeing with respect .... more like this would be most appreciated

According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.
