Part 2 I think airs on Monday but youtube has 5 10 minutes sections for part 1.

Not as good as the other two recent programs but my main criticism is when the kid finds the fossil and Dawkins is like, "yeah kid, great." Dawkins just seemed dispassionate. So far IMO the thing with the class isn't working but maybe in part 2 it comes together. And more generally IMO Dawkins is a great lecturer but that doesn't mean he's a good conversationalist or teacher.
