Smoke & Steel - Secrets of the Modern World

This is a British documentary TV series. They visit sites of big Victorian era works or there about. Some are older. Some are mid-20th century. This is basically a history documentary with location shoots more than anything else. The connections within each episode are a little loose. The history is not the most eye-popping. There are a few fascinating historical tidbits to be learned every time. This is low-key education entertainment. It is not the best, but it is better than background television. The first series has six episodes and I don't know if there are more to come. This is perfectly fine.

Excellent program. Well written and presented. Well filmed. Best documentary I have seen in a long time. Some unique footage of some interesting and unusual solutions to various problems.
