More Industrial Revelations with Mark Williams - God Be Praised!!

Update: Now available on DVD!!!
This blog post was written when Industrial Revelations Series 2 was just starting on TV. At that time, the DVD was not available. But, good news, it is now! I've got my copy :-)

Series 1 is Available on DVD!! Hooray!!

Also available...

Tonight on the Discovery Channel at 8pm begins a new series of Industrial Revelations called More Industrial Revelations presented by Mark Williams.

You may know him from the Fast Show as one of the "Suits You Sir" fellas and (my favourite) the character who "This week has mostly been eating... armadillos". He really brings the subject to life, and would definitely be something to look forward to for kids who have boring history teachers.

The first series charted the progress of the Industrial Revolution from water wheels, canals, iron bridges, right up to the invention of the steam train and the creation of our railway networks.

This second series looks at specific inventions, technologies and their impact.
If it is anywhere near as good as the first series, it will be well worth watching.
I think that tonight's episodes are about hats and beer. Which is nice.

Unfortunately, neither the first or second series of Industrial Revelations is available to buy on DVD or video yet.
But you can see more of Mark's enthusiasm and humour in On The Rails where he explores the 200 year history of the invention and developement of the railway.

Update (23 September)
Here's a great article about Mark Williams and this new series at the Independant.

Thanks for the recommendation, that Hook Norton beer looked beautiful :) and you can buy it on line for only about £1.60 a pint. There's an interesting beer available at Christmas - twelve days.

If Mark ever reads this, thanks for making what must be one of the finest television series ever to be put onto video. Just watched tonights episode on Printing and Paper and you can feel through the screen that Mark adores his subject matter and makes it enormous fun to learn about. Surely this should be on the curriculum in our schools. Hurry up with a DVD release!!!

Industrial Revelations is needed on dvd, I already use "on the rails" in the classroom, Mark Williams is brilliant, the kids relate to him and he makes the subject come alive.

The following season, the Bucks got an unexpected gift when they acquired Oscar Robertson, known as "the Big O", in a trade with the Cincinnati Royals. Subsequently, in only their third season the Bucks finished 66–16—the second-most wins in NBA history at the time, and still the most in franchise history. During the regular season, the Bucks recorded a then-NBA record 20 game win streak.
