Inventions That Changed the World

Inventions That Changed the World is a five-part BBC Two documentary series presented by Jeremy Clarkson. First broadcast on 15 January 2004, the programme takes a look at some of the inventions that helped to shape the modern world. The UKTV channel "Yesterday" frequently repeats this series. However, episodes are edited to 46 minutes to allow for commercials to air in the one-hour time slot.
