The Britons
A lot of people still think that we were just woad-covered savages before the Romans came along. Well, we weren't - firstly we weren't covered in woad but dressed in a rather elegant new-fangled invention - trousers; more importantly we were organised, spiritual, technologically advanced Brits with European business connections � all without towns and cities or being able to read and write!

This programme shows the evolution of the people of Britain from Stone Age hunters to Iron Age warriors. From early people who used animal bone picks to dig mines to a society skilled in the use of metallurgy, bronze, iron and gold. From a nomadic existence to a society organised into tribes with their own coinage and identities. From farmers using simple wooden ploughs to ferocious warriors driving thousands of chariots and repulsing the invading Roman army of Julius Caesar.

The Life of Luxury 奢华的生活
Roman Baths and Pumproom

This 2,000 year old Great Roman Temple enclosing a natural spring is one of Bath's foremost visitor attractions. The site of a cultish shrine to the Roman goddess, Sulis Minerva, it boasts a beautifully preserved bath, temple and pumproom.

Chesters Roman Fort, Hadrian's Wall, Northumberland

A well-preserved cavalry fort, complete with a bath house and which features an impressive museum. Original artefacts are on display.

Invasion 入侵
When the Roman army invaded Britain in force in the spring of AD 43, they brought with them technology that must have astonished the native Celts. To begin with the Roman weapons were far better - they had good swords, spears, and several machines to throw missiles.

Lunt Roman Fort, Warwickshire
Built on an archaeological site, this faithful reconstruction of a military complex includes a granary, ramparts and a museum of Roman artefacts.

Building Britain Town And Country  城镇和乡村
Hart-Davis analyses the Romans' ingenious farming methods and looks at the creation of early towns. He visits York and discovers the remains of the Roman city and a Roman sewer that is still working.

Butser Ancient Farm
Described as 'an open air laboratory', this reconstructed Iron Age farm and settlement is an archaeological research project, investigating the ancient methods of Celtic farmers.

Housesteads Roman Fort

Britain's most intact Roman fort, all the more impressive for its clifftop location, built by Hadrian in the second century.

Arteries of the Empire 帝国之动脉
Hart-Davis analyses the Romans' ingenious surveying methods that enabled them to build their arrow-straight roads. He also commisions a replica of an ingenious giant water wheel used to remove water from flooded Welsh gold mines.

Richborough Roman Fort

The remains of a Roman fortification dating back to their first century landing, as well as a museum of Roman life.

Edge of Empire 帝国的优势
Hart-Davis visits Hadrian's Wall and demonstrates how communications were the key to the success of the Roman military machine.

Vindolanda Fort, Hadrian's Wall

The remains of a Roman fort and settlement, with full-scale reconstructed buildings and an excellent museum. Excavations are in progress.

Ahead of their time 那个时代的高峰
Adam Hart-Davis rediscovers the innovations and inventions brought by the Romans to Britain. In this edition, he examines the forms of entertainment laid on during the 176 days per year that were public holidays in Roman times. Featuring the hydraulis, the first ever keyboard instrument. Plus a look at how the Romans introduced concrete.

Caerleon Roman Amphitheatre, South Wales

Part of a Roman fortress complex in the ancient town of Caerleon, this circular site was once the setting for displays of gladiatorial combat and accommodated 6,000 spectators. Arthurian legend suggests it was the site of King Arthur's Round Table. Also features a museum and nearby remains of a bath-house and barracks.

What The Tudors Did For Us《都鐸人的貢獻》



中文名称：都鐸人的貢獻
英文名称：What The Tudors Did For Us
资源类型：TVRip
頻　　道：BBC TWO
主持人　：Adam Hart-Davis
地　　区：英国
语　　言：英语
简　　介：
If you enjoyed the recent release of "What the Ancients Did For Us", you'll love to find out what Adam got up to "before he was famous". This is the first in a (hopefully) complete release of his full back catalogue, taking in the Tudors, Stuarts, Victorians, Romans and ultimately the beginning of it all, "Local Heroes".

分集介紹：
The Good Lyfe
The Wars of the Roses concluded, Britain could finally afford to reap some of the rewards of civilization. In this programme we see the vast opulence of the most richest woman in Britian, Bess of Hardwicke, as well as the invention of tennis (originally played with kitchen sieves), horceracing, the theatre, and knitting. And of course what programme would be complete without an investigation of that perennial Hart-Davis obsession, the Water Closet.

War Machyne
Adam looks at the development of Tudor weapons of war, taking in unpleasant implements of torture, cryptography, and casts his own cannon out of pure iron and test fires it!

Seeyng the Worlde
Among many enduring Tudor inventions were the pencil, enabled by the discovery in Wales of what for the long time would be the only graphite pit in Britain, the telescope, perspective and oil paints, applied to create pictures of unprecedented realism using the camera obscura.

The Thinkynge Revolution
During this era there were the most striking transformations of our understanding of our place in the Universe. Adam explains how Tudor ides of astronomy were revolutionsed by the discovery of a "new star" or "nova" in 1572, and how the dubious practice of alchemy gradually gave place to chemistry, alongside the discovery of many new substances.

主持人　：Adam Hart-Davis

语　　言：英语
简　　介：
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。
拍摄的外景地非常的多，有格林威治皇家气象台的子午仪，海德公园，水晶宫，还有沃里克郡的监狱服务博物馆

分集介紹：
Speed Merchants 飞跑的商人
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 扮演上帝
Looks at science and medicine, including devices designed for waking the dead and the eccentric experimenter who reputedly created life.

Rule Makers 政策制定者
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 犯罪
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 攀附社交圈
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 征服者
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 夸大
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 享乐的追求
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.
