About this programme

1/3. In the first of three films exploring the importance of metals in British history, Dan Cruickshank charts the popularity of silver during the 18th and 19th centuries. He explains how it became regarded as a symbol of taste, wealth and status in Georgian and Victorian society, and visits locations around the UK to inspect some of the most notable examples of silverwork from the period.

Following episodes are about armoury and blacksmithing.
 
Gold for the kings (sovereigns) silver for gentleman (me :D )

A torrent link for this would be great =)

That might cause problems for the admin, however if your were to google "metalworks msD" you might find another site that can point you in the right direction.
 
Yes, the Silver one was interesting as it gave me a very different historical perspective on the metal, and I found the armour one really interesting for totally different reasons.
 
Ill be watching them right now, and i really cant wait to see the silver one. Go to rapidmovies and search this show, and you can watch it online, for whom are wondering.
