Many of us watched the iconic Â鶹ԼÅÄ TV series Tomorrow's World, as it made predictions about the future in which we now live.

Was it correct in its assumptions and predictions?

Former presenter James Burke takes a journey through the archive, and explores how the series fared.

Tomorrow's World began in the "White Heat" of the 1960s - as science and technology began to promise a future previously unimaginable.

From the first orbits of the moon, to the first heart transplant; from the nuclear debates of 20th century, to the economic failure of Concorde; from robots to the internet - Tomorrow's World reported on it all. How did the show do it? And did it get it right?

In 2015, James Burke - a Tomorrow’s World reporter from 1966 to 1972 – looked at how the show dealt with huge technological advances and assesses our ability to see what's around the corner.
