This programme is part of Talk - a collection of interviews with some of the most influential figures of the 20th century.

The interview was recorded in 1972 but only transmitted, in shortened form, because of the 鈥榯hree day week鈥� and the restriction on broadcasting hours at the time. Some six months later Dr Bronowski died. This version is the first time that interview was shown in its entirety and, as Michael Parkinson remarks, 鈥渢here are many reasons for doing so. One is that what he has to say has as much relevance now as then, another that I believe it to be the testament of a rare human being and also because, although I haven鈥檛 got a favourite interview, I shall forever remember this meeting鈥�.

Programmes are selected, in part, for their historical context and reflect the broadcast standards and attitudes of their time, which may not accord to some current 麻豆社 editorial guidelines. We aim to select programmes which can be shown in their entirety but in some cases edits are required.
