Perhaps one of the more common new year's resolutions you'll hear is the desire to watch less television and read more books.

It's a nobel quest doomed for failure, as going cold turkey on the passive pleasure of letting a good TV occupy your brain for a while can be rather tricky. 

Well thank the creators of this website then, for they've gone out of their way to find something educational for you to watch as you bridge your way to finally picking up a copy of Ulysses.

It's simple - follow the link to 'Instead of TV, you should watch...' and work your way through brilliantly clever YouTube explainers on who started WWI, why dung beetles do that thing with a large ball of dung, or (as on page 579) the answer to the age old question - just why are babies so cute?
