"Science is the acceptance of what works and the rejection of what does not. That needs more courage than we might think."

- Jacob Bronowski

I remember watching this as a kid on BBC1 in 1973 and being completely absorbed. An intellectually powerful series that has stuck with me ever since- Bronowski was a remarkable man. Time to revisit this on its 50th anniversary. A terrific review by David Deutsch #jacobbronowski https://nautil.us/not-merely-the-finest-tv-documentary-series-ever-made-234658/

Jacob Bronowski was a great man. I have a cherished old edition of his book "The Ascent of Man" illustrated with stills from the TV series. Still relevant today!
