Building the Impossible Railway 4: The Sea of Mountains
The construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway gets to grips with the Rocky Mountains barring the way to the west coast. Experts say there is no pass through the Selkirk range. While politicians dither and argue back in the new nation's capital, Ottawa, men of very different personality struggle in the mountains. New names are etched into Canadian history.

Remember Hiroshima? ... and Nagasaki?
Introduced by Melvyn Bragg
' We loaded up the nuclear material and it made a big spherical package and the last thing we put on was a cap, and on that cap most of the guys wrote some little message: it was traditional to write messages on bombs - purely ritual behaviour - Memories to Hirohito, In Memory of Bataan, or whatever it was, and I remember writing 10, tons. I had that much, and not more, enthusiasm for it.'
Exactly 30 years ago today, nuclear physicist Philip Morrison supervised the loading of the A-bomb which was dropped on Nagasaki. In conversation with MELVYN BRAGG , he recalls for viewers how scientists like himself came to be involved in the manufacture of nuclear weapons and the campaign some of them have waged to limit the arms race.
