The Ascent of Man
Season 1 Episode 6 - The Starry Messenger
8.4 ?
1973
Documentary
From the earliest times, Man has looked outwards from the earth and wondered at the movements of sun, stars and planets. The programme hinges on the crisis of the scientific conscience in the person of the astronomer Galileo and in the rich cities of Venice and Rome, the scenes both of his triumph and his punishment.
