It’s a Lovely Day Tomorrow1

Synopsis: 1870-1950 is a period characterised by a succession of innovations with remarkable effects in everyday life from new sources of power, new modes of transport, new clinical techniques to a great leisure industry. This programme, made entirely from archive film, shows how the new communications media were used to promote faith in the power of science and technology. Negative effects were glossed over - the message was that science and technology would create a better tomorrow.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
