Can't Get You Outta My Head

We're half way through watching Adam Curtis' new, 8 part documentary, Can't Get You Outta My Head on iPlayer.


Highly recommended if you're interested in how we're being shaped by our political masters, who are meant to be our political servants.

I'm a great fan of Adam Curtis' documentaries, both from a production perspective and the manner in which he shows historical links that aren't immediately visible to the casual observer. 

That said, I think he doesn't make connections sequentially, but looks at a current situation and tracks back, thus his programmes start with what look like several, totally unconnected events and then follows them to a present conclusion that draws all the strands together.
