It’s a journey down the wires from the awe and opposition that greeted
the first pylons in 1928 and the novelty of electric light, to the
long lost glamour of the British nuclear industry and Margaret
Thatcher’s determination to keep power flowing during the miners’
strike. Contributors include author Will Self, urban planner Sir
Peter Hall and grid veterans on how Britain first banished darkness
and turned on the electric light.

Excellent.
I am not sure about the electricians that were running diagonal cables in a
wall at 23min 50 seconds though.
