Does any one know the name of the blind chap whom Armando read the poem to ?

I think Jesus had to die to show us not to fear death ! We humans are manipulated through our desires and fears . This manipulation desconnects us from God we become drawn deeper in to the materlal world through these manipulations .

Sad but revealing that only older people even knew who he was. And this is progress? We are so much less educated than 12 year boys 50 years ago.

It's poor show that white people don't even know their own literary figures given that they had the greatest civilisation. Is standards declining?

Fantastic tribute to PL. A travesty so few read this masterpiece. Like the end of Ulysses full of kindness. We are on our own, but not really. The human condition is universal.

Really dumb comment by the narrator at the end when he said Milton really wanted to explain the ways of man to other men. No, he didn't. He said exactly what he meant to be the purpose of his poem at the start: to inform humans about the ways of God.

Galileo was a lying catholic Fiend and nothing he promoted was "science" at all, but rather, the exact opposite. And the Bible *vehemently* opposes everything he said in literally hundreds of different scriptures and countless ways.

The narrator is asserting a very crude & vulgar & inaccurate paraphrase of Milton when he says the poem describes the archangel "taking food into his digestive tract and then making an angel fart." That's not what the text actually says at all. This host is making the poem sound disgusting in ways that it actually isn't.

Oh my, what a fabulous treatment! I know the goal is to bring Milton to a wider audience by sharing the enthusiasm, amazement, power of the poetry and politics, but for those of us already of Milton’s party, we know where Ianucci is going. Here comes books are not dead things. The blind professor, here comes the late espoused saint. Now the man who serves prisoners defends poetry’s liberating power and we’re off to think of Milton in the Tower. Ianucci’s film gives Milton the fabulous, lively, human treatment he deserves. Bravo.

This is a delightful documentary. Armando Iannucci's enthusiasm is infectious, and his erudition is humane and joyous. I want to learn about and read more of Milton, after being inspired by Iannucci's word-loving, adventurous exploration of the great writer's masterpiece.

At 8.30 Armando introduces some 'meaningless phrases' or some of the earliest known spin as he calls it. Does any body know, but isn't it reminiscent of Thucydides and the corruption of language in the History of the Peloponnesian War?

Considering that Armando is fully paid up supporter of Tony Blair and Labour Party it's a bit rich for him to disparage " spin ". ? Nobody did it better than Blair.

It is a testament to the adaptogenic nature of art that, while some clearly see this poem as evidence of Milton's holy devotion, I can see nothing but an atheists manifesto.
