The series takes a 45-minute look at many different industries and areas of interest. Some of my favorite episodes as a child were those that provided rich historical context about the subject being explored. Other episodes are devoted entirely to historical topics such as the episode on castles and dungeons. It discusses how medieval society changed over time with the development of feudalism, and necessitated the construction of fortifications, as well as offering animations and on-location interviews with tour guides and curators. There are topics for just about anyone, including even separate episodes about wine and distilleries, and I'm sure there's one for beer! The early episodes are dated in many ways, but still provide useful information in some cases, although an episode about a modern military from 1995 would be a historical account itself. Keep to the 2005-2015 episodes and I think you'll find something to interest you.
