PBS had an excellent mini-series on (possibly from the Beeb side of the pond) a bunch of years ago: "The Voyage Of Charles Darwin". It may pre-date Reagan and his salutary effects on the American soap opera believe-o-sphere. Anyhow, it was good, no one screamed bloody murder, and I'd happily watch it again.

Since that time there are a lot of fundys who have stunk up the air with their pseudo intellecks, and possibly this tale of controversy is an attempt to make them get even with the movie by buying tickets but not going in.

Most Americans are slightly smarter than Europeans credit.
