Who has watched any of this 2004 BBC series?

I was casually browsing what was available on netflix and found this show. I had dived into the book prior to finding the show. I was pleased to see it on there and last night I fired up the 360 to stream it.

Much of the style (animation and humor) of Monty Python shows up in this non-fiction series. It's very informative and I enjoy Jone's sense of the bizzare and his outlook on the Medieval England everyday lives.

What he does is takes roles and discusses perceptions, stereotypes, and then dispels some of them. So far I've only watched "The Peasant" and "The Minstrel" both are informative while very entertaining as well.
