They need to make adult learning a little more entertaining. This shit looks way too much like real work. Like I'm about to come home after a day in the salt mines, kick back and watch a lecture on Quantum Mechanics or Cryptography or Into To Pharmacology. Interesting in principle yes, but come on.

If you actually grew up watching those late night OU programmes on the BBC it's even funnier. Either Not the Nine O'clock News or Harry Enfield did another one, I'll try and find it.

I suffered through the first couple of hours of David Harvey's Kapital lecture and gave up, it was only valuable as a soporific.

There's another spoof of those old BBC science shows, can't remember what it's called though.
