The Empire of Good Intentions

Unlike Bernard, I thought that overall it was a pretty good historical documentary. It of course, did have its downfalls and its slants, but it wasn't horribly biased for or against the British Empire.
I would have liked to hear more about other British colonies such as Australia, Canada, the Islands just for that perspective. And what about Africa? Britain held enormous amounts of land in Africa, and they weren't mentioned. Were these colonies not part of the Empire of Good Intentions? Was England's only "intention" in those place wealth and power?
