Just watched the documentary on iPlayer. What a lot of Charles Hazlewood featured, and what a lot of irrelevant sound-clips. (In particular, why so much of the violinist playing a Strad? Stupendous instrument, but hardly to the point.)

I thought it would have made a good short series - say 4 x 45 min rather than one 90 min slog - as it needed far, far more focus on the technical details and problems of making and playing each of the different instruments. Why did we see so little of the makers who produced a playable instrument on schedule, for example the chap who made that charming oboe?

Verdict: enjoyed it overall, but with reservations about the overall approach.
