Overall an A-, but I realize I am in a minority when it comes to current pop music. My favorite English groups are The Tallis Scholars and the like.

I watched again the opening rural to industrial revolution segment, and still found it brilliant.
The casting of the 5th ring fitted the theme excellently.
Glennie and the drums were a good selection to back up the rapid evolution of UK life.

I remember airlines (American and Canadian) that regularly showed short skits with that Mr. Bean as "entertainment". I thought they were bad then, and he has gone downhill.

The UK did much to advance nursing and the modern hospital, and NHS. Many of the billion who watched around the world would not be aware of this and may have wondered at the segment.

I am not a fan of modern poplar music, so I dozed during much of this segment, but I realize that I am totally out of step with that aspect of current culture. The Beetles and similar groups from UK took an American form and developed it into something more personal, but confinement of this segment to pop and ending with that talky-talk naval-gazing complaint leaves me stone cold dead in the market.
