Anyone watch 'The Universe' on the Stonehedge?

It wasn't that bad for a History channel program, however I did find parts of it annoying and frustrating.

The background music and sound effects sometimes overwhelm what is being said. BBC programs don't do that.

It ignored the connection to the Northern Scotland discoveries that were a precursor to stonehenge.

The good points on the program
were the mathematics of the lunar
and solar cycles which Stonehenge revealed as explained by astrophysists

On edit... I'm watching the next one on the pyramids and its a waste of time
totally filled with astrophysicists explaining the egyptians and with a lot of inaccuracies.
