Just why does the world appear how it does? Fusing social history, politics, science, nature, archaeology and religion, this landmark series unravels a universal mystery - why the world around us looks like it does. Modern-day mysteries are answered by journeying back to the beginning of civilisation via some of the most amazing man-made creations in the world.
An intriguing narrative thread drives through each film as exciting scientific demonstrations reveal how our minds, and those of our ancient ancestors, relate to art. Beautiful, surprising, compelling and above all, relevant, with a visual ambition worthy of its epic subject-matter, this awe-inspiring adventure will appeal not only to art lovers, but to anyone who has ever wondered about humanity's place in the world.

How does one find a schedule listing of the remaining programme times for the series of How Art Made the World. I’ve just spent a 15mins plus trying to find such an item and while I can find a listing for each of the programmes, the time its to be broadcast is not listed on the page
Many Thanks
Paul
