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. This 'history of ideas as illustrated by art and music' remains the benchmark for the numerous programmes it inspired.
