"Longitude"
This is the true story of the forty year struggle of John Harrison (Michael Gambon) and his son William (Ian Hart) to win the prize money by proving that John Harrison's mechanical clock is the answer, not the stars as most people in the scientific establishment believed.
It also tells the story of Rupert Gould (Jeremy Irons), who two centuries later tracks down the four machines Harrison has built and takes on the task of restoring both the reputation and the physical condition of the clocks, enabling future generations to realise the significance of Harrison's vision.
