	Civilisation
		Kenneth Clark's 13-part series produced by British Broadcasting Corporation's Channel 2 (BBC-2) in 1969 and released in the United States in 1970 on public television, remains a milestone in the history of arts television, the Public Broadcasting System, and the explication of high culture to interested laypeople.
		Civilization, he suggests, is energetic, confident, humane, and compassionate, based on a belief in permanence and in the necessity of self-doubt.
		Civilisation came at an opportune time for American public television, appearing in that venue after the BBC had tried in vain to place the series with the commercial networks.

	Men's Rights Online - Television Issues
		The acceptance of testicular abuse on television is largely due to the existence of political correctness, and the retention of the criminal law exemption and civil law privilege that women received during the implementation of Old English Law.
		The television networks are very reluctant to portray the act of clitoral abuse as a form of acceptable and liberating, as the feminists would not allow such content to exist; however the hypocritical policy of political correctness allows the concept of testicular abuse to be lauded and accepted.
		If the television networks are willing to portray the act of testicular abuse as acceptable then they should also portray the act of clitoral abuse as being acceptable, as there is a vast amount of scientific evidence that offers conclusive proof that the clitoris is as sensitive to pain as the testicles.

	Civilisation
		When Kenneth Clark introduced his magnificent BBC television series Civilisation he emphasised that it was not a history of the arts, but a history of life-giving beliefs and ideas made visible and audible through the medium of art.

	Amazon.co.uk: Civilisation: DVD: Kenneth Clark (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		'Civilisation' is not so much a television series as a lecture series, one which represents a fascinating watershed in the history of mass communication...
		Clark admits to influence by the Victorian historian and art critic, John Ruskin: the latter argued that history is written by the victors, literature by the partisan, but that art and architecture alone convey the soul of the age and thereby speak a truth which is inaccessible in the written word.
		'Civilisation' is an epic piece of television and cultural history and a lesson in the art of communication.

	DVD Verdict Review - Civilisation: The Complete Series (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Remember that when this premiered in 1969 on British television, the idea of focusing an extended documentary series around the voice of one scholar, like taking a university seminar on television, had never really been tried.
		He implies civilization is about to be overrun by barbarians, so he offers to start the journey with a look at the last total collapse of reason and culture: when the barbarians destroyed the glory of Rome, then swept through Europe to threaten all the great accomplishments of good Christians.
		Clark's series was the first major British documentary series in color, and its length and logistical difficulty made it quite the experiment in 1969.

		Although most of the series' more memorable characters had long since left by the time of the fifth film, Fox announced that the television series of Apes would have completely new characters and be set in a different time period.
		The television series only garnered lukewarm reviews and tepid ratings in the United States, which was unfortunate, considering that the show was a massive success on these shores when it arrived in the form of syndication.
		Presented in the original television mono mix, the sound hasn’t been remastered but is presented at an acceptable level of volume and is mostly free of noticeable hiss.

	screenonline: Civilisation (1969)
		Documentary series in which Sir Kenneth Clark examines the ideas and values which to him give meaning to the term Western Civilisation.
		One of his ideas was to base a series around some of the world's "most beautiful things", set into some form of context by a narrator.
		Not one of these books can be understood unless we read the two others, but of the three the only trustworthy one is the last." And for 13 weeks he attempted to show how two thousand years of the creative urge had moulded western civilisation.

	The Millenium Project - Quintessence of the Loon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		In the middle of the 20th century civilisation was threatened as an entire country seemed to go mad, and millions of people died as a result.
		A new word was invented, "holocaust", to describe something which even today almost defies belief - that someone could propose, and execute, a plan to destroy a large part of the world's population simply because they had the wrong genealogy - their parents and ancestors were the wrong sort of human.
		On 11 September, 2001, civilisation was again attacked when hijacked aircraft were flown into the two towers of the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon, and again we were presented with indelible images that will stay in our minds forever.

	GILLIGAN'S ISLAND \| A TELEVISION HEAVEN REVIEW
		Where the series scored was in using a tried and trusted formula of throwing together a group of people from disparate backgrounds and putting them in situations where they had no choice but to interact with and rely on each other.
		In fact the series almost didn't make it to the air and would never have been seen had it not been for its opening theme tune.
		The series didn't stand up to close scrutiny but fortunately the comedy made up for the obvious plot-holes that the writers consistently fell into.

		The last comment is a good one; let Clark introduce himself to you, just as one reads a Herodotus or Suetonius- to be in the presence of a knowledgeable and engaging friend.
		having visited many of the places shown, it's also a marked benefit that the series was filmed in 1969, when travel was truly the domain of those seeking enlightenment before our days of package tours.
		Although the BBC continues to be a source of wonderment through its historical live-action recreation series such as Auschwitz, Pompeii and the Attenboroughs, this is truly of its time when there was no need for gimmicks or embellishment.

		Robert Hughes's American Visions is the descendant of one of the most successful noncommercial television series ever made, Kenneth Clark's Civilisation, which was produced by the BBC and broadcast here in 1970.
		He seemed a man who was game enough to perch on a rock outside the Parthenon if that was what the script required, but who would feel a good deal more comfortable in front of a lectern, or in an armchair in his study.
		His appearance was tweedy and donnish; his voice was high-pitched for television; he sometimes gave the impression, before he spoke, of adjusting his dentures.
