Great Lives: David Livingstone

Series 2, episode 4

Col John Blashford-Snell, who made the first descent of the Blue Nile, celebrates the life and work of renowned explorer David Livingstone, whom, he argues, was the Victorian equivalent of an astronaut, and embodied the era's can-do attitude. Dr Sarah Worden of the National Museum of Scotland is on hand to support the nomination. Chaired by Matthew Parris
