Six films about some of the 20th century's most enduring designs.
2: The Coca-Cola Bottle
Coca-Cola started out as a syrup into which you squirted carbonated water. The bottle designed to contain the resulting fizzy drink became one of the most famous pieces of packaging in the world.
It was designed in 1916 as a result of a competition.
Despite changes of flavour, the introduction of cans and relentless global competition from rivals, the heavy glass bottle with the archaic-looking trademark still symbolises the American dream.
Accordingly it inspires approval or hostility - depending on taste. Narrated by Jancis Robinson with Wally Olins and Stephen Bayley Photography

The Riddle of the Joints
In Wells Cathedral there is a clue to the origin of rheumatoid arthritis. It is one tiny piece in the puzzle that has vexed doctors for 200 years: what causes this crippling joint disease?
Is it an infection by bacteria or viruses? Is it stress or diet? Intense research this century has answered some of these questions, only to reveal more ... Is it inherited? Will it suddenly disappear as rapidly as it appeared?
The ultimate cause, and a cure, remain to be found, but recent discoveries offer some hope for the million Britons who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis.
