Episode 1 • Mar 06, 2001
Face to Face
John Cleese, with Elizabeth Hurley and others, discusses how humans are hard-wired as social animals to see facial expressions and body language from other people, primarily in direct contact and immediate company.
Episode 2 • Mar 13, 2001
Here's Looking at You!
John Cleese discusses with others how important is recognizing faces, and the natural processes of having emotional connections to the faces of others whom we care about. It drives our ability to connect with loved ones and friends. Occasionally, someone loses that ability due to injury or medical damage, which affects their lives and relationships.
Episode 3 • Mar 20, 2001
Beauty
John Cleese, Elizabeth Hurley, and others, discuss how inborn norms in humans favor our appreciation of symmetrical faces. Biologically, we react to some features and face shapes as remarkably beautiful, more so than those of other persons.
Episode 4 • Mar 24, 2001
Fame
John Cleese and others discuss what being famous meant in our ancient hunter-gatherer origins. Getting admiring recognition now is typically from movies, TV, or photo modeling. Three newcomers get a frank interview with a top casting agent.
