Great to see lots of online enthusiasm for the BBCs repeat of The Great Philosophers @profangiehobbs.bsky.social!
Pleasing to see the start of a complete rerun of The Great Philosophers (1987) next week on BBC Four. You can keep your TOTPs; this is the stuff! Arid studio discussions hosted by Bryan Magee. A sequel to Men of Ideas (1977). Hopefully it's more Empire Strikes Back than Caravan of Courage.
