_Genre: Documentary_ The series charts a whole generation of great
Victorian engineers, told through the rivalries of two great
engineering families - the Stephensons and the Brunels.
In the 19th century, a new breed of hero appeared. In an explosion of
creative energy, a group of remarkable men emerged who were to invent
the modern world, tackling the raw forces of nature with courage,
brains and panache. Men of Iron brings the extraordinary achievements
of these great Victorian pioneers to life.
In the first part a whole generation of great engineers is covered,
among them Thomas Telford, James Nasmyth and Richard Trevithick. Their
achievements, won through the close collaboration of the finest minds
of the century, but more often through bitter competition, are
colossal monuments to a time when engineers were superheroes.
