我们现在所生活的这个高科技的世界是建立在二十世纪的基础上，这点确实诱惑人。这个系列可以看作是《What The Romans Do For Us》的姐妹篇，这个系列带我们经历了一次轻松的旅行，探究了维多利亚时代的发明和革新对于现代英国社会产生的影响。

It's tempting to think that the high-tech world we live in today was built in the 20th century. But as What the Victorians Did for Us establishes, the groundwork was laid by "the speed merchants, inventors, pioneers and products" of Victorian Britain. Having told us What the Romans Did For Us (central heating and straight roads for two), Adam Hart-Davis is now doing the same for the Victorians in his new BBC2 series. This companion piece is bubbling over with his enthusiasm for the people, the places and especially the inventions of this fertile century. These were the people who removed the scourge of cholera from UK cities--in the process constructing the first modern sewage systems. They drove railways across the nation--making it a truly United Kingdom and standardising clocks across the country for the first time. And before Queen Victoria's death in 1901 they were extracting magic from the very air--developing the telephone, telegraph and X-rays. But if their story is one of enormous engineering tasks, such as London's sewage system and Underground--they were creators of small wonders too. New rubber processes brought snooker tables and tennis balls to the sport-loving British; they developed the first chilled drinks. And while they were building the largest empire the world had ever seen, an enterprising businessman called Thomas Cook was inventing the package holiday.

影片介紹:
Regular Hart-Davis aficionadoes will need no explanation. The penultimate "What the Historical People Did For Us" series (before the upcoming Romans) beings release, these all encoded in glorious Divx 6 (not that I can actually see any improvement from 5.21).

分集介紹
Speed Merchants
This edition focuses on the Victorian obsession with speed, and the impact of steam power on farming. After visiting the last steam-powered mill in the country, Adam experiences the legacy of Brunel's Great Western Railway, and sees if a project to build a steam-powered plane can ever get off the ground.

Playing God
Looks at science and medicine, including devices designed for waking the dead and the eccentric experimenter who reputedly created life.

Rule Makers
Hart-Davis finds out how the rules for sports such as tennis and football evolved, and discovers how standardisation in manufacturing made new inventions, such as the sewing machine, affordable.

Crime and Punishment
Focusing on the Victorian world of crime and retribution, he experiences life on the beat as an early policeman and looks at the forensic tests developed to catch poisoners. Plus the monotony of prison life, and early home security.

Social Progress
How the opportunities in employment and education created the middle classes and gave them such luxuries as their own toilets, frozen foods, and improved healthcare. The rich, meanwhile, could indulge in new gadgets such as the velocipede shower.

Conquerors
In this edition, he visits Kew Gardens to examine the plants which explorers brought back from abroad and experiences the science of storm prediction. Plus a demonstration of the greatest world-shrinking Victorian technology of all - submarine telegraphy.

Making It Big
The dramatic successes and failures of Victorian entrepreneurs, including William Armstrong, who installed a swing bridge in Newcastle, and Otis whose lift made the skyscraper possible.

Pleasure Seekers
Leisure, the seaside, weekends. They seem natural, but they were all Victorian inventions. The Victorians were freed from the fields and had cash in hand; they were the first mass pleasure seekers.
