6.0

I did quite like the sarcastic and cynical tone of the narration once this got going. It all starts with the caveman who spends much of his time killing it, unless he is off killing something more necessary for food. It's that process that introduces mankind to the cooking process and thence to an i ... ndustrial one that ultimately created the distinct concepts of work and leisure. The more emancipated people became, the more diverse their requirements became. Might humanity prefer leisure and work to pay for it, or might they enjoy the work and leisure is just a necessary evil? Traditional lines get blurred and definitions of what we like to do become matters for government policy and official ingenuity! There's something engagingly simple about the initial style drawing but thereafter it heads into a busy and rather surreal - almost "Monty Python" - style which I found left me focussing more on what was being said that what I was seeing. Still, it's original in both concept and delivery and though not really for me, is worth ten minutes.
