Episode 1 James Burke's Connections³, which is the last (as far as I know!) installment in the Connections series.
In this series, Mr. Burke again takes a fresh approach in exploring main theme of all of these series; which is the way that progress occurs, almost exclusively by accident, and through various (often multi-disciplinary) "connections" between ideas or individuals. In this case, each episode begins where the last one left off and the whole series concludes with a surprise ending :) I won't give it away because that will spoil all the fun!
Again translating this series into a "K-web path", we can think of it as a set of explorations beginning from one starting point and ending up somewhere in the past, present (or possibly the future) and then left there for a later time (ie. School's out, and it's time to go home!). The next show is then a continuation of the journey through "connection space". See http://k-web.org for more information.
In a sense this series almost reads like a book with various twists and turns (and lots of surprises!), broken up into "chapters" where each chapter starts off where the last one ended.
