Television's most popular current affairs magazine presented each weekday evening by FRANK BOUGH , SUE LAWLEY , JOHN STAPLETON and BOB WELLINGS with contributions from BBC studios throughout the country. Also from far and near, the programme's team of reporters LUKE CASEY , BERNARD CLARK , KEVIN COSGROVE , TONY FRANCIS , DIANE HARRON , JAMES HOGG , BILL KERR ELLIOTT, NICHOLAS WOOLLEY and MARTIN YOUNG bring you films and features that reflect the way life is Nationwide.
James Burke, in the first of a series of ten films, examines the connections between ideas, inventions and amazing coincidences that have made our modern world the shape it is. What happened in the past to make our 20th-century lives so complex? What are the strange events, accidents, people and places that have come together to make change happen - and what will it do to us next?
The series tries to show how the objects that surround us in the modern world - and influence our every action - came into existence. The search for the origins of today's technology has ranged through 20 countries and back as far as 12,000 years ago. The result is a series of fascinating detective stories, in which James Burke reveals some of the mysterious connections between you and the past Which you may never have suspected. In every detective story, you are the sleuth, knowing at each turn of events only as much as the people at the time and, like them, having to guess at what happens next.
