Adam Curtis pulling very some Pynchon shapes. . .

[Elisabeth Romberg]

Will definitely try and check that BBC account-thing out! 

I’ve only Seen Century of the Self, but it’s in such poor quality on UTube. Love it anyway tho. He’s got a great narrative voice that Curtis does!
Will look up Felt like a Kiss, Power of Nightmares, and Black Mirror too.  Thanks!
