If you've ever wanted a computer desk, a hi-fi video centre, bunk beds or a rocking chair these are just a few of the items which Richard Blizzard will be making in his series of eight programmes.
4: The Computer Desk
Many homes today have the festoons of wire that announce the presence of a microcomputer. Richard Blizzard has designed a complete carrying box for the smaller types and a desk for the larger desktop models. In the garden he makes a garden dilly to carry all the tools and bags of compost to the job in hand.

A personal view by James Burke
1: The Way We Are
Five hundred years ago, people looked at the dawn and thought that they saw the Sun going round the Earth. If that seems stupid, ask what it would look like if it did go round the Earth. Exactly the same. It's your knowledge that tells you what you're seeing. You are what you know. When your knowledge changes, you change, and so does the universe.
From the US Air Defence
Centre in Colorado to Mount Everest and the Greek Islands, the first of ten programmes illustrates this basic theme of the series. It shows how to read the present for clues about what the universe used to be. And each time the universe changed, it gave us a part of modern life - helping to make us the way we are.
