Not the Cheapest but the Best
Leonard Rossiter investigates a Victorian phenomenon:
Isambard Kingdom Brunei (1806-1859)
At the age of 20, Brunei was engineer in charge of the Thames Tunnel, the first tunnel ever driven under a river, now used by the Underground. At 27 he designed the Great Western Railway, completed from London to Bristol when he was 35. He also built the first trans-Atlantic steamship, the first screw-propelled liner, and the Great Eastern, each in turn by far the largest ships to sail the seas.

Tonight Brian Barr explores the road that's changing a whole way of life.

An independent film - Before Hindsight - has aroused interest and controversy for its exposure of deficiencies in pre-war current affairs and news coverage. It contains rare archival footage including previously suppressed film clips.
Before Hindsight is presented by James Cameron and ends with the assertion by Jonathan Dimbleby that today's current affairs programmes can, and do, present an equally distorted version of the truth.
Is the film right? The provocative issues raised are discussed in the studio by
Lord Ritchie-Calder, Bryan Magee, Jonathan Dimbleby, Richard Francis, Sir Hugh Greene; Chairman Ludovic Kennedy
