The Last Machine (BBC2, 1995)
#1
Here's something I've found on YouTube, an entire 5-Part series Gilliam hosted on BBC2 in 1995 about the very early days of cinema called The Last Machine. It was based on a book by Ian Christie, and it focused on the days of Georges Melies, Thomas Edison, the Lumiere Brothers and Pathe. Gilliam proves to be a good host and he gets to play characters throughout (like the Man in the Moon), it's a pity he hasn't done it again, though by the time these aired in early 1995, he was in America filming Twelve Monkeys. These recordings are taken from an Australian broadcast.
