A personal view by Kenneth Clark

In this, the final programme, Kenneth Clark shows how the heroic materialism of the past hundred years has been linked with an equally remarkable increase In humanitarianism. The achievement of engineers and scientists- Brunel and Rutherford, for example-has been matched by that of the great reformers like Wilberforce and Shaftesbury. Kenneth Clark's thoughts on the period in which we are now living took him from the English industrial landscapers of the contemporary New York, the world of the radio telescope and the exploration of space.
