在第一次世界大战爆发之际，三位皇亲各自统治着欧洲的强大势力：沙俄帝国的沙皇尼古拉斯二世，德国的德皇威廉二世，以及英王乔治五世。这部两集纪录片系列检索了这三位君主在一战爆发中所起到的角色以及战争开始之际他们之间的关系；提论这些元素的影响要比以往的历史学家们所认识的要大的多。 　　At the outbreak of the First World War three cousins reigned over Europe's greatest powers - Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany and King George V of England. This two-part series looks at the role played by the three monarchs, and their relationships with each other, in the outbreak of war, arguing that it is far greater than historians have traditionally believed.

『まんが日本昔ばなし』（まんがにっぽんむかしばなし）とは愛企画センター、グループ・タック制作、MBS毎日放送制作枠にてTBS系列で放送された日本のアニメ作品及びテレビアニメである。 　　（第1期、1975年1月 - 1975年3月） 　　1975年に開始。作詞家の川内康範が監修に携わり、川内の娘で童話作家である川内彩友美が企画。毎回日本各地に伝わる昔話が映像化され、市原悦子と常田富士男の両名が一人で何役もの声を使い分ける独特の語りによって紹介する。スタッフに一流のベテランアニメーターやイラストレーターを多数起用するなど、映像にこだわりのある作品だった。番組内で使われた音楽にも川内の甥である北原じゅんの純邦楽からロック、フォーク、ラテン、クラシックなどを織り込んだ多彩かつ無国籍な音楽が使用され、作品の質の高さに一役買った。 　　毎日放送（MBS）制作で最初はNET（現・テレビ朝日）系列で放映されたが開始から3ヶ月でいったん放映は終了し、9ヶ月のブランクを挟んでTBS系へ移動して再開された。これは、当初の放映分がもともと番組改編の都合で空いてしまった枠の穴埋めとして本来は海外在住の日本人向けとして制作されていたものを放映したためである。その後、反響の高さから改めてレギュラー番組化されるに至った。この間にMBSと朝日放送（ABC）がネットチェンジしていたために全国レベルではNET系からTBS系へ移籍する形になった。再開後の時間帯は後に続く『クイズダービー』、『8時だョ!全員集合』、『Gメン'75』などとともに1970年代、1980年代のTBS系の土曜夜を高視聴率で支えた。

The movie tells the story of Imri, who at 19 goes to live in Tel- Aviv, but dreams of moving to Japan. Through his relationships and encounters and in diverse cinematic tools, we are introduced to the young man's life. An exploration of living in the exotic city of Tel Aviv is presented through a hero who is himself in the midst of exploring his own choice of an exotic place. A unique correlation is formed between the hero's misconception of Japan and ours of him. 　　The movie was constructed by both improvised and pre-scripted scenes, as required by the nature of each scene.

Ancient Worlds is about people and places, politics and economics, art and war, trade and technology, but above all it’s the story of the painful birth and difficult growth of a radical idea first tried and tested some six thousand years ago, and which we are still struggling with today; civilisation. Civilisation has not come easily; it’s something we’ve had to fight hard to achieve, and even harder to maintain, and the greatest threats to it have come from our own talents for destruction. But when we’ve managed to get it right, the benefits have been enormous. 　　When we talk about the ancient world we tend to think of rare and exotic artefacts or the monumental remains of epic architecture; but these are just the empty shells that got left behind when the tide of history turned! The living creatures, the civilisations, that once inhabited these shells were rarely if ever static or stately; they were dynamic, chaotic, and always threatening to spin out of control, because civilisation is based on an improbable idea; that strangers can live and work together in dense urban settings, forging new allegiances that replace the natural ties of family, clan or tribe. It’s an idea we’re still coming to terms with today, but one of the best ways to understand the challenges that are involved is to look at how our ancestors tackled them the first time around. 　　From ancient Iraq to Imperial Rome, Ancient Worlds examines how our ancestors struggled with the levers of religion and politics, art and culture, war and diplomacy, technology and trade in order to keep the complex machinery of their civilisations turning over. Their insights and blind-spots, their breakthroughs and dead ends, their triumphs and disasters are the milestones on the long and winding road that leads directly from their ancient to our modern world.
