    It brought back many memories, particularly the Cuillins. They didn't mention the midges of Sligachan though - worst in the world. There was a Wainwright programme on BBC4 after it and that was pretty good too. Ahhhhhhh....

      I didn't see any daleks up there. Oh I forgot, mountain climbing is a right barstard for them, isn't it!

        I read reviews that said Mountains was beautiful to watch but spoilt by Griff's narration/dialogue.

        Might give it a go next week though.

                Was that in the Griff program or the Greek Democracy one?

                  Is threat a subtle lizard threat.

                  Actually there is still debate about hemlock, Plato described Socrates death by hemlock as you described, but Nicander described as a far more violent death.

                    Sorry.

                    It was in the immensely tedious Greek Democracy programme with Bethany Hughes or whatever she's called.

                    Execution of Socrates.

                    Or something.

                    There was a particularly interesting bit of defragging going on at that moment.

                      Yes, he seemed a decent cove. Come the revolution I suspect he'd be dragged out and shot for being one of the bourgoise, but in fact he was millions in debt trying to maintain his castle.
