Silly but fun KNTV song and show on Darwin

As I write, the UK TV Channel 4 is broadcasting an amusing programme on Charles Darwin as part of a 10-part series for children, KNTV Philosophy, presented by virtual hosts Kierky and Nietzsche, two teenage science-obsessed rock thrash musicians from the fictitious communist country of Slabovia. 

You can find out more about the series here:

and about the Darwin episode here:

Curiously, the show has not yet appeared on YouTube but UK viewers who use Windows should be able to watch it on 4oD (but when oh when are these muppets going to get this service working for Macs??!).

Also, you can see a clip of a Darwin song from the show from the AniBoom website:



KNTV has its own website: http://www.slabovia.tv complete with its own video player, but as yet the Darwin material isn't there. But it's worth a visit to see the silly songs on Karl Marx and Adam Smith!
