I am a sucker for these types of shows, but most of them disappoint because they are superficial and presented with multiple talking heads and multiple presenters which really can be annoying - especially the talking heads.
But Rob Bell does a fantastic job telling the whole story from the idea to the completed bridge, with drawings, and technical detail. I just finished watching the Sydney Harbour Bridge episode and was mighty impressed and learned so much about the impact on the locals that I just had no idea of, he even reads out some of the poignant letters of those who lost their houses, and in those days there was no concept of compensation.
Excellent show.
