- Synopsis:
A fascinating and fun exploration of Europe's rich industrial history. How did we get from horse-drawn ploughs and village water-mills to combine harvesters and food factories? How did the first motor cars get their engines? Today, clothes are so cheap they re almost disposable, churned out by specialised machinery in huge factories. But it wasn't always so. How on Earth did we get to here...from there? Join familiar faces Mark Williams and Ronald Top on a fascinating, informative and above all entertaining journey through the industrial heritage of Britain and Europe. It is an intriguing tale of genius and invention, told by presenters with a genuine enthusiasm for the subject at hand (as well as the odd beer or two!) From oil wells in Poland to brick-making in Britain, and from steel-rolling in France to steam engines puffing up through the Alps, this series reveals some of the continent's biggest and most significant industrial developments, and how years later we are all feeling the benefit. - Studio:
