James Burke's Connections

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Thunder in the Skies
James Burke takes a look at 2,000 years of human ingenuity. In the sixth of ten historical detective stories, he searches for the clues that link yesterday's amazing inventions to our modern-day world. This week he asks: ' What's the connection between skating on the Thames and making love in private, or between the invention of soda-water and the scent-spray - and how does that connection lead to package tours to Majorca? '
