BBC Two
on BBC Two England

The Royal Institution, London Annual Christmas Lectures to Young People
by Professor Philip Morrison

We look at the present-day world through the eyes of a voyager from Lilliput and Brobdingnag. What large and small things can we find? In nature? In man-made things? How far was Jonathan Swift, when he wrote about Gulliver, right or wrong in his conception of science as he knew it?
Recorded at the Royal Institution this afternoon
