Good lectures or documentaries on the internet

If you find any interesting and thought provoking ones on youtube please post them here, I like to listen to them at work.

These are some I've watched lately:

Graham Hancock documentary on a lost proto-civilisation, I'm still not sure if this guy has a point or if he's just got Ni in overdrive. Very interesting regardless and great locations.

Lecture by Jeffery Friedman a reknowned Obesity geneticist on the genetics of obesity.

I don't know about any youtube videos, but this is my favorite website for viewing lectures: http://fora.tv/. There are hundreds of videos, a handy search feature so you can quickly find a topic that interests you and also videos divided by categories if you just want to browse.

I recently watched this Richard Dawkins lecture and found it pretty interesting: http://fora.tv/2009/10/07/Richard_Dawkins_The_Greatest_Show_on_Earth

I like Dawkins, a lot of people don't like him but I think he is an engaging speaker and writer.

I also like him. I don't understand why so many dislike him. You may not agree with him, but he definitely has engaging and interesting things to say and write. That's surprisingly difficult to find.

Not quite a documentary, but I really enjoyed James May's Toy Stories. There are several in the series, a BBC production for those of us who have no intention of growing up and little reason to do so. The "scalextric" program is my personal favorite, but they are all good.
