If it hadn't been for Great-Uncle Gavin, Mark would never have been cycling to Brighton, and he wouldn't have met the man with the Golden Apple, nor would the snake-haired Furies have turned up on the doorstep.

Yesterday, Tomorrow and You
James Burke concludes this look at 2,000 years of human ingenuity by turning from the past to the present. In the last of this series of ten programmes, he searches for clues that link the ways in which change has happened in the past to the way our modern world, and our lives, will change in their turn. What lessons can we learn by looking at history in this way? What will tomorrow bring for us - and are we ready for it?
