Culture like Art is subjective

I think the show is brilliantly put together, covering a great mix of traditional and contemporary culture. I find the show interesting, informative but above all enjoyable. The topics covered are well chosen, and the product is first class as you would expect.
We are free to choose our own definition of what we consider to be culture, as are we free to watch something else if for example it doesn’t fit in with our own blinkered view of reality. Not to exercise that right is well . . .

Liberté is a wonderful thing !
Keep up the good work all on the Culture Team.
