I agree entirely with your view that BBC tv documentaries have declined
dramatically in quality in recent years. I have not found anything
worth watching on BBC2 for at least a year. Thankfully there are the
occasional programmes by Al Khalili and Januszczak on BBC4 that are
worth watching.

I went off Al Khalili when he presented a programme on 'Muslim science' (whatever that means), when he
stated that the circumference of the Earth was eastimated in ~800AD by a Muslim scientist - completely
ignoring the previous measurements made in India 400 years previously and by the Greeks in 200BC.
