The full title of the series is "Civilisation: A Personal View by Kenneth Clark", otherwise it's just called "Civilisation". I would probably propose it be moved to Civilisation (TV series), but it would be good to have a second opinion before moving it. Bob talk 14:04, 28 January 2009 (UTC) I support a move to Civilisation (TV series).
Civilisation was great, but the series is 50 years old, and looks it. Today, neither Lord Clark’s benign pomposity nor his open disdain for contemporary culture would fly. His focus, too, on the West seems perverse in our globalized era, when we all have become more conscious of the complexity of interactions between cultures throughout history."
