There have been many geniuses since time began. They have all contributed the progress of Man. The UK has had a good share of these people and we must celebrate them.

Priscila Thompson lived above us at 20 Lupton House. Had many a slap from her! ;o)

Great memories Martin. Regards...

The original people that the Kon Tiki expedition tested their theory on didn't use clocks, did they? Crossing the deserts, they didn't use clocks, did they? How on earth did they manage? A stick and its shadow by day and the stars by night. Things were not so rushed then, people had time to think and reflect. Well, it's 22.20 here in London, I'm orff. rofl

Hi Martin, I live in Lupton House between around 1968-1973, Am I having a false memory or was it possible to go underneath Lupton house where there was some sort of storage area? Also, was your friend Terry Pickles a carpet fitter with a couple of brothers?

OMG.....no mention of the last person to restore it.......I was the apprentice who tuned and restored the organ section!

Wonderful. I love my Dobby loom.

THIS IS SOOOOO COOOOL! YOUR COLLECTION IS SUPER FANTASTIC!!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOO VERY MUCH 4 SHARING!!!!!!❤😂🙏🫶👍❤

. There's a wonderful TV Movie called "Longitude". With Michael Gambon, Jeremy Irons, and a host of other actors. Well worth watching. .

She’s cute 🥰

Like an ocean.

I bet that place was full of scrubbers.

Have you got the dates rght here? I thought that the first RAR gig at Leeds Poly was in 1977???

Hi great film. I was in Jackson house on the third floor i think. I probably played with you up on the roof tops.😊 And I went to the catholic school. I was a brown boy 😂 probably the only one. Lot of memories great place

No problem with it being only me; I think this is the most impressive, informative and fascinating documentary I have ever seen. Utterly compelling. Thank you, Charles Craig

Old video but still wonderful and interesting. Thank you!

John Harrison.. Born at Foulby.. A small village 9 miles from where I am sitting this minute; This man is a hero on an epic world level and I feel proud to have him as a local to myself

Why Harrison was not given the prize money is apparently due to the arrogance and condescension of the board m3mbers.. It is class warfare. That exists today in government, society and corporations. It is the" YOU ARE NOT LIKE US , THEREFORE YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE". I did enjoy the documentary. !

Humm, pendulum clocks do not go well with boats because the waves rock the boat and that disturbs the balance mechanism. So a pendulum clock would be inaccurate on a boat.

This was an excellent episode👍

I mayn't fault the outfit of a man dress'd to present on high clockworthinesses!

Why not have a sand timer that lasts an hour or so and simply keep turning over as it’s about to run out?

Like all documentaries they all manage to leave a massive gaping , obvious question that remains unanswered right the way through. " Harrisons clocks were astonishingly accurate to within 1 second per day "......... How did he know ? Did he have another clock that was perfect with which to compare it ?? I don't think so . In that era where clocks were in their infancy , how could you possibly measure ANY clock to within 1 second per day ??

Forgotten genius 💕💕

The world was changed by clocks over main gates to the manufacture buildings of the industrial revolution.

Tallow , made from rendered down muttonfat was the main lubricant used for centuries. as well as for candles New Zealand was settled by farmers to produce tallow in main for export to the industrial world. to grease cogs before oil based lubricants it seems.

Apparently an ordinary seaman kept telling Cloudesley Shovell that he wasn't where he thougbt he was. He was so insistent that Shovell had him hanged.

Why do so many people say longDitude and not longItude.

Back in the day when the BBC made documentaries that were interesting, educational and informative.

This is very interesting, but there is one thing that is missing. How did Harrison know that his clock was accurate to one second a day? That would imply that he knew how to get the exact time, and there was something to compare to. And how did he do that? It wasn't with a sundial. We have scientific means to get the current time. The fact that he was trying to make an accurate clock meant there was nothing available back then.

I'm surprised that this lovely man - as involved in longitude as he is - mispronounces "longitude" as though there were an additional "t" after "long". There is no "t" there and so the word IS - and should be pronounced - LONG- I- TUDE and not LONG -TI- TUDE....... Admittedly - Latitude and Long -ti- tude rolls off the tongue in a more satisfying way than "Latitude and Longitude (no extra "t") - but it's wrong.....

That jacket 😂

WELL DONE!@! BRAVA! BRAVO!! ONE MILLION POUNDS? THESE ARE PRICELESS PIECES OF A TECHNOLOGICAL MARVEL, ANALOG PRECISION. PRICELESS AND SOVEREIGN WEALTH OWNED BY ALL

Wow! This was astonishing in so many ways!! The level of skill used with the different woods & his knowledge of how they dry, how oily, they’ll continue to be, etc is mind blowing!! These men were astute on so many levels!! I would love to know what his schooling was & what their father did for a living. This is an amazing story!! Thank you for creating & sharing it!!

Harrison’s time piece

to be a good teacher ,it's not just presenting information ,its making it interesting to the individual so you have their attention and focus .you have that gift .great doco .

This video is an absolute gem…..thank you so much. All the more relatable by visiting the key locations of this saga. As someone who has just read Dava Sobel’s Longitude and having worked on the GPS Program, I too must visit Greenwich. It’s about time!

I have a friend who is taking a TIG welding class right now. I sent this to her. More women need to see what can be done! I wish I could afford to take metal working classes; that look so relaxing.

What a wonderful presentation. Thank you kindly. Time is a wondrous entity.

From here in the States we say "Bravo" and thanks so much for sharing this excellently presented and so professionally produced! Carry on!

who is the God on the left with four arms and the big crown?

Not needed on a flat earth...

Many woods self lubricate

This is fascinating. Thank you. Tim Berners Lee would love this. A knowledge engine.

Excellent documentary. Thank you. I recently finished re-reading 'Longitude' by Dava Sobel - the whole longitude prize story must have been very frustrating to Harrison.
