I thought the rural to industrial bit was fairly imaginative.

The NHS bit I found slightly bizarre, although well-intentioned.

The massed drummers were really powerful.

What was that droning electronic music in the first part for? It seemed to go on for ever!

The paucity of traditional British music was a disappoinment for me.

I watched it until they started that "medley" of naff 70s pop songs, then reached for the off button!
