Footprints: 1: The Finest Work in England

on BBC Two England

Written and narrated by John Betjeman.
A new series of biographical films set in the British Isles.

A film on the life of the great nineteenth-century railway and marine engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
"Ours was a seven-foot gauge, our track was wide;
Long, straight, and smooth it crossed the countryside.
Wider and faster than a coach or cart
Triumph of engineering and of art"
