Some had remarked that there are merits in team operations, where scholars get together in a team, or students in a field get together in a team. I recently had the very good fortune to be involved in such an effort. Actually it wasn't quite scholarship. I was asked to be the principal advisor of a thirteen-part television series called The Long Search. I'm happy to say that the series, on world religions, was very well received by the critics. But it was very strongly a team effort, and in documentary style. I thought at the outset that there would be some difficulty in persuading people who were working on the ground in BBC television to take what I regarded as the right sort of approach to religion. On the contrary, I found that to be extremely easy, much easier, I thought, than persuading some academics. And I think the reason was that by taking a documentary approach the people at BBC weren't in a way too much bound by previous images of what it was to look at religion, and they were not too much bound by the kind of history that we are all bound up with ourselves.
