Torrent description

This torrent was uploaded from www.TheBox.bz (signup is open and free) - the home of all British TV

The 13 part series "The Ascent of Man" was first broadcast on BBC2 from May 5-July 28, 1973.

This is the 4th of the (2005 DVD release) 4 disc set.
(I have reconstructed this 4th disk from individual files I obtained - The menu is all me)

Presented by J Bronowski

The Ascent of Man is regarded as one of television's greatest achievements.
Dr Jacob Bronowski traces the steps of scientific imagination through history as they happened, where they happened.
This lavish and thought-provoking series tells the story of the ideas that have transformed our lives.
More than three years in the making, with location filming in over 20 countries.
This award-winning series remains compelling viewing.
