This program chronicles the tenure of Sir David Attenborough as controller of BBC Two during its formative years (1965-1973). Featuring interviews, archival footage, and recollections – including appearances by Joan Bakewell from the 1960s – it explores a period widely considered the golden age of television. Attenborough oversaw the creation of iconic programs like Match of the Day and Pot Black, alongside acclaimed comedies such as The Likely Lads and Not Only But Also. Horizon, Man Alive, One Pair of Eyes, Masterclass, The Forsyte Saga, and The Money Programme set a new standard for public service broadcasting. He also commissioned ambitious series like Kenneth Clark's Civilisation and Jacob Bronowski's Ascent of Man, which remain television landmarks.
