Yes, I have seen, and partly read, that series. The title - "History of the Marxist Internationals" - is a bit odd. The First International was not a "Marxist International" at all, with all the different traditions within it, from moderate trade unionists to Bakunin and other anarchists. Marxists formed a small, though influential, minority. The Second International was only Marxist in a formal sense, unless one equates Marxism with reformist social-democracy (shich was what most parties represented, certainly after the first few years). Still, an interesting read.
