BBC Horizon Special #23 - The Science of Star Trek (26 August 19

One of the rare BBC Horizon episodes. As far as I know this one cannot be found in any of publically available (via BitTorrent) episode collections.

About Horizon:

Horizon is a current and long-running BBC popular science and philosophy documentary programme.

The programme was first broadcast on 2 May 1964 with The World of Buckminster Fuller which explored the theories and structures of inventor Richard Buckminster Fuller and included the Horizon mission statement, The aim of Horizon is to provide a platform from which some of the world's greatest scientists and philosophers can communicate their curiosity, observations and reflections, and infuse into our common knowledge their changing views of the universe.[1] "Horizon" continues to be broadcast on BBC Two, and in 2009 added a series of films based on the rich Horizon archive called 'Horizon Guides' on BBC Four.
