Professor Jeremy Black examines one of the most extraordinary periods in British history: the Industrial Revolution. He explains the unique economic, social and political conditions that by the 19th century, led to Britain becoming the richest, most powerful nation on Earth. He traces the unprecedented explosion of new ideas and technological inventions that transformed Britain's agricultural society into an increasingly industrial and urbanised one. He also discusses the reasons behind this transformation; from Britain's coal reserves, which gave it a seemingly inexhaustible source of power, to the ascendency of political liberalism, with engineers and industrialists able to meet and share ideas and inventions. Professor Black explains the influence that geniuses like Josiah Wedgewood had on the consumer revolution and travels to Antigua to examine the impact Britain's empire had on this extraordinary period of growth.

A film that looks at the genius of JMW Turner in a new light. There is more to Turner than his sublime landscapes - he also painted machines, science, technology and industry. Turner's life spans the Industrial Revolution, he witnessed it as it unfolded and he painted it. In the process he created a whole new kind of art. The programme examines nine key Turner paintings and shows how we should re-think them in the light of the scientific and Industrial Revolution. Includes interviews with historian Simon Schama and artist Tracey Emin.

The film is reminiscent of "Gosciminska" by virtue of both analogy and a reversal. Both films are based on a written text - a colloquially worded document written and read out by the protagonist, which initially takes form of curriculum vitae, but as it progresses begins to sound more like a letter of complaint. The protagonist's account spans from the pre-war to the post-war period. What is reversed is the relationship accounts and the film footage illustrating them. The unique method of editing archive material is particularly worthy of note. As each take is replayed a number of times the footage looses its credibility.
