The first of a two-part miniseries made for BBC Worldwide, ARTE, Beijing TV and ORF that reached an audience of more than 100 million people. The challenge was to present this subject in a way that could be enjoyed by both those totally new to the subject, like the Chinese, and those to whom it was very familiar, like the French and Germans. It seems to have succeeded very well, though for a British audience it may seem talky. There was a lot of explaining to do!
