Discovered this series by accident on TV a few years ago. Thoroughly enjoyed this unassuming series which wasn't on at prime time, not advertised on tv and I don't even think it was on the 'main' channels. It was repeated recently and I managed to find find my own copy to watch at my leasure! Highly informative, made easier to digest as each feature is acted in a docusoap fashion (not documentary style with facts and figures). I think older children will also find it fascinating. I really love this series, well-worth my purchase! Arrived on time, price very fair. So happy, thank you!

Brilliant three disc set of the marvels of civil engineering, very well put together with archive film elements and storybook narration, these discs contain some quite unbelievable feats of human ingenuity and endurance with only pick, shovel and manpower: Each disc contains at least two programmes of ‘the highly acclaimed’ BBC series:- DISC 1/. The Line ( the railroad across America),The Hoover Dam. DISC 2/. The Great Ship( Brunel’s the Great Eastern), Brooklyn Bridge, Bell Rock,DISC 3/. The Sewer King (Retelling of the construction of London’s sewers),The Panama Canal. A triple boxed set in a smart slip case, very entertaining viewing that will always be worth a revisit.

I viewed this series when it first came out and found it very interesting. Any one who is interested in Industrial history will find the series fascinating.

The collection is just as it should be but, because of bad wrapping all the covers are badly damaged by transport.
