Seven-part documentary series that tells the epic tale of the development of European civilisation from the Stone Age to the present day.
2: Colliding Continents and the Age of Bronze. A look at how the Alps were formed and how the discovery of bronze began the first arms race in northern Europe. But in the south, the first great
European civilisation grew up in peaceful isolation on Crete, born from the wealth of agriculture and trade. Did a volcano destroy it?

A five-part series presented by Dr Jonathan Miller.
2: Out of Sight. A look at the rise and fall of the asylum, described by Miller as "a loony bin, a laughing academy, a bug house, a snake pit". Those who conceived of the idea had optimistic hopes of an asylum or safe haven for the insane. The depressing realities and often brutal treatments practised within the institutions they created are in complete contrast, culminating in the wholesale murder of the insane in Nazi Germany. As asylums are once again being closed down and their patients returned to the community, have attitudes to madness progressed at all during the last 400 years?

Fifty years ago Orson Welles's Citizen Kane, his first and most astonishing movie, received its British premiere. This documentary is a prelude to a screening of the classic film which Welles directed, produced and played the starring role in - all at the age of 25. Welles's collaborators. production team and actors describe its making; Welles himself is featured in BBC interviews from 1960 and 1982; and the real life press baron William Randolph
Hearst, upon whom Kane is based, is recalled in rare footage. American film critic Pauline Kael analyses Kane's enduring appeal and film historian Robert Carringer looks at the scenes that never made it to the screen.
Narrated by Leslie Megahey. Producers Charles Cabot and Christopher Swayne
