Forgot - Sky 1 isn't actually one of the freeview digital channels so I couldn't have seen it. It may have been the most popular thing on satellite TV, I doubt very much it was the most popular thing on British TV as a whole since on Saturday night BBC1 showed Doctor Who followed by the Eurovision Song Contest, which is hugely popular.
There was obviously a reasonable overlap with the recent Story of Science programme on BBC2 but it focused a bit more on the people and it also featured various less well known scientists (e.g. Daric in last night's episode).
Atlantis was rather speculation free, actually. More along the lines of "Look at all this really ancient shiny stuff from cultures that have suffered cataclysms, one of these might have been the inspiration for Atlantis". If you consider it a programme on archaeology in the Aegean/Med, it was very good indeed.
