Civilisation: A Personal View by Kenneth Clark (1969)

Episode 1: The Skin of Our Teeth (50 mins)

'An extraordinary cultural tour through the centuries. Kenneth Clark's landmark 1969 series, offering his personal perspective on the history of western art and philosophy.'

'In this first episode Clark—travelling from Byzantine Ravenna to the Celtic Hebrides, from the Norway of the Vikings to Charlemagne's chapel at Aachen—tells the story of the Dark Ages, the six centuries following the collapse of the Roman Empire, and “how European thought and art were saved by 'the skin of our teeth'”.'
