Battle for the Acropolis
Narrated by Andrew Faulds One of the world's greatest buildings is about to collapse. In the next ten years the expertise of the finest academics and technicians in Greece is going to be concentrated on preserving the Acropolis of Athens for future generations.
The problems they face are staggering. They stem from atmospheric pollution and the remarkable, but ultimately disastrous, restorations earlier this century which have placed a time-bomb inside every monument on the rock. The appalling effects of acid rain on the ecology and ancient buildings of western Europe is now well documented. The
Greeks have been tackling the problem for years.

5: Religion Shock
Christianity has traditionally preached 'one Church, one faith, one Lord', and by the end of the 4th century was executing heretics. The shock came when Christianity encountered the other major world religions, at least three of which also claim to incorporate and supersede all others. Don Cupitt follows the stories of Schopenhauer (the first Western philosopher to feel the impact of Hinduism), Annie Besant (a remarkable English woman who campaigned for a secular society and then became a theosophist) and Vivekananda (the first Hindu missionary to the West). Can the dialogue of world faiths give rise to new global understanding of religion?
