"History's Greatest Hoaxes" documentary series

Currently on Netflix and worth a look, this series uses the populist documentary format to discuss hoaxes, credulity, media manipulation, skepticism etc. The talking head interviewees include Joe Nickell and episode themes cover the Orson Welles War of the Worlds broadcast, the alien autopsy and Pildown Man hoaxes, the Loch Ness Monster etc.

There are some narrative issues - repetitive discussion points, episodes are probably at least 5 minutes too long - but IMO any documentary presenting skeptics as heroes of critical thinking is a step in the right direction.
