Very good, but I’m surprised you didn’t mention that Burgess Meredith played another character obsessed with reading in Time Enough at Last, which seemed to offer another view - even an indictment - to the improving power of education, or at least reading. The character in Time Enough at Last apparently learned nothing from all his reading.
Also, to give the Chancellor his due, he tried to do his duty and die stoically for the State. When Wordsworth told him this was his chance to show.the strength and resilience and courage of the state, he tried to nerve himself up, but you never know for sure what you'll do until the time comes, and when the Chancellor's time came, well...
You might do a contrast of the two episodes and characters in the future?

Yeah, we enjoy doing these video episodes so I think we will do more of them and the plan is to cover "Time Enough at Last"
