I have these as .avi files, and have watched them a couple of times. They are well worth the watching.

FYI, you still need to check with your local PBA affiliate to make sure it will air in your neck of the woods. I emailed mine and wonder-of-wonders they don?t plan to air it in Mississippi. Here?s the official response:

Jonathan Miller's "A Brief History of Disbelief" is a three-part series
of one hour documentaries that has been offered to public television
stations by one of our ptv program distributors.

We have shown an interest in the series, but have made no current plans
as of yet to broadcast.

Thank you for your interest in our programming.

Point of clarification: A Brief History of Disbelief itself isn’t airing on Bill Moyer’s Journal. A tie-in to the program ? an interview with Jonathan Miller and some clips from the program ? will air. It airs on PBS stations Friday, May 4th, 9 PM (check local listings).

Disbelief is airing nationwide on public TV, but it’s not being aired exclusively by PBS and is not being carried on a national feed. Basically, stations can run it whenever they want. Airdates as confirmed nationwide will be regularly posted at http://www.abriefhistoryofdisbelief.org.

I encourage everyone to please contact your local station(s) and tell them you’d like to see it (as Butch did in Miss.)! Mention the program is being offered by Executive Program Services.

I love that.....

"The real question isn't how people can disbelieve, but how faith can survive and still linger on."

Awesome....
