Civilisation
In 1966 BBC Television embarked on its most ambitious documentary series to
date. The eminent art historian Lord Clark was commissioned to write and present
an epic examination of Western European culture, defining what he considered to
be the crucial phases of its development. Civilisation: A Personal View by Lord
Clark would be more than two years in the making, with filming in over 100
locations across 13 countries. The lavish series was hailed as a masterpiece
when it was first transmitted in 1969.
From the fall of the Roman Empire to the Industrial Revolution and beyond, Clark's compelling narrative is accompanied by breathtaking colour photgraphy of Europe's greatest landmarks. This 'history of ideas as illustrated by art and music' remains the benchmark for the numerous programmes it inspired.
Includes a specially written 36 page illustrated booklet of viewing notes to accompany this DVD.
DVD extras: Sir David Attenborough remembers the making of Civilisation and Photo gallery of behind-the-scenes stills.
