' It is naive to think that it is expedient (let alone possible) for a player striving for the top place in a tournament to play every game all out, putting all his creative effort into every encounter.' (Former World Champion and draw expert TIGRAN PETROSIAN)

A personal view by J. Bronowski in 13 programmes
10: World within World
To see the world in a grain of sand, And heaven in a wild flower;
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.
(WILLIAM BLAKE )
From the echoing vaults of a great Polish salt-mine DR BRONOWSKI embarks on the most fantastic journey of the 20th century, to the hidden world inside the atom. He tells the story of the men and ideas that gave concrete expression to the invisible, intangible structure that lies beneath all matter. The sunny quiet of Niels Bohr 's garden, the glamour of great reactors and the silence of a Vienna cemetery are stopping points on the journey that ends in the fires of a neutron star, deep in space.
It's a joy to have a series that conveys the elegance of theory, the precision of experiment and the craftsmanship of application in the scientific enterprise, along with the wonder, (NEW YORK TIMES)

To mark the 100th anniversary of Andersen's death - a special Danish Television film

The dropping of the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima was the greatest single catastrophe man has ever inflicted upon man. But even from this clinical, impersonal mass-annihilation a great many people did come out alive - though burdened with guilt, fear, and with the danger of possible radiation after-effects.
To commemorate the day of the Hiroshima bomb, Horizon presents a film about the thoughts and feelings of the survivors. Based on interviews with a great many of them, it presents an impression of what it is like to go through the A-bomb experience.
How does man behave in a cataclysm? How can people, or even a whole city, live with - and live by - the memory of such a shattering event? And in what sense are we all survivors of Hiroshima'?
Made in collaboration with DR ROBERT JAY LIPTON, Professor of Psychiatry, Yale University.
