You can't watch it on there but you can see when it's going to be on. Radio Times would do the same job, but that pages lists all the episodes of that show and tells you when each one will be broadcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dor Posted January 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Just watched it- recorded to skip adverts. Interesting programme. There are actually some good documentaries on PBS . I use tvguide.co.uk to check what's on, pick your area and which channels to cover. Edited January 12, 2021 by dor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athy Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Today's appears to be about Germany. I look forward to one about France, no doubt there will be one. I was surprised to see that the programmes are of American origin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pluto Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 23 minutes ago, ditchcrawler said: The Poland one had an incline plane in it There were two canals with inclined planes in what is Poland today, though the inclines were built on what was then Prussian soil. The one still in operation is the Elblag or Oberland Canal, which has five inclines, four powered by waterwheels, and the last one, which replaced a short flight of locks, having a turbine. The other was the Klodnitz Canal between the mines at Chorzow ad the ironworks at Gleiwitz (Gliwice). Based on the Duke of Bridgewater's Canal, coal was carried from underground in boxes. The drawing shows one of the two inclines on the section of canal in the open, and the small bridge is the first cast iron bridge to be built outside of the UK. John Baildon, who was probably trained by Smeaton, went to work for the Prussians in Upper Silesia and was responsible for many improvements to iron founding in the area, as well as the bridge.
