I much enjoyed episode 1 of Ken's series.A small complaint: I found the voice over reader of excerpts of Scotsman John Muir's fine writings irritating.He didn't speak with an American nor a Scottish accent. Instead, he affected an atrocious neither/nor, invented, amateur accent sounding nothing like the Scottish one it was presumably intended to sound like! Next time Ken, hire a Scot, or if you think a real Scots accent's too "harsh" for sensitive American ears, have it read American-style!
