BBC Four - Take One Museum, Manchester

Paul Rose explores the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester.

Series in which Paul Rose explores Britain's finest museums. This edition features the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester.

Explorer and expedition leader Paul Rose goes on a non-stop, 30 minute tour of the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester.

Powered machinery, factories, discovering the atom and splitting it, our national network of trains and electricity, even standardised time - all of these inventions and discoveries originate in Manchester. The Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester proudly displays it all in buildings that are themselves equally as interesting, such as the oldest passenger railway station in the world. 

Paul started life as a tool-making apprentice in a car factory so has a natural fascination for machinery, but he also reveals the human stories that made our world what it is today - including the man who experimented on his servant and went on to prove the most fundamental law of nature.

Knowledge, arts, music and culture from the UK and the world.

BBC Four reflects arts, music and culture with an ambitious range of intellectually and culturally enriching programmes, taking an expert and in-depth approach to its subjects.
