The Brunels, Father and Son, were engineers ahead of their time. The modern world would not be the same without them. For me the GWR is Isambard's greatest acheivement, the worlds first high speed railway. Marc's Thames Tunnel was an engineering triumph, if not a financial one. What more could Isambard have acheived, had he lived even a few years more.. Thanks for posting this, I thoroughly enjoyed it

Don't remember much about the holiday, but I do remember the Albert Bridge, proudly bearing, in huge cast letters: 'I.K. BRUNEL. 1859.' I went over it on a train in 2007, and it still brought me out in goosebumps.

I did the London Walks Brunel tour a few years back (in the rain so there were only two of us and our guide) and it still amazes me how we stared at the Rotherhithe tunnel and were transfixed by what was in essence a black hole. I now hope to get to Bristol to see the Great Britain. Brunel was one of those people who just said "I can do this" and did. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't but he certainly left us with some incredible feats of engineering.

As a Bristolian, the Clifton Suspension Bridge is my personal favourite of Brunel's works as it became an iconic image of the engineer - the last flight of Concorde (engines built in Bristol's Rolls Royce plant) took in a fly-over of the bridge. Many thanks for this superb documentary Rob - you've clearly put in a lot of hard work, time and effort into this.
