(R) 10:30 © FIGHT OF THE MONTH Smithsonian basis for show by United Press Internationa} NEW YORK — From a tower high above the Vatican to a road side eatery shaped like a hotdog, producer Martin Carr and host David McCullough have been traversing the world working on PBS’s biggest new series, "Smith sonian World.” The series will consist of 40 stories that look at the arts, scien ce and humanities side by side. The seven, hour-long programs will begin airing in early 1984. “It’s the first time a television series has been catholic in its pers pective in looking at science, art, history, all of the humanities, all in one show, one perspective,” McCullough said. Writer-historian McCullough is thoroughly enjoying his new career in television. “Curiosity is like gravity, it’s accelerative. The more you get to. know, the more you want to know. ” The author of such books as “Mornings on Horseback,” “The Johnstown Flood” and "The PSth Between the Seas” said he’s been taking notes while working on the series, and his list of poten tial book subjects has “grown from about 25 to 52.” Carr said that soon after he re ceived 100 percent funding from McDonnell-Douglas Corp. for the series, he went to the underwri ters to ask if they had any ideas about a host for the program. He had seen McCullough inter viewed on television, and decided to give him a call. After lunch in Boston, McCullough was raring to go- “It s very rare that television has offered such an opportunity,” McCullough said. “There is no thing like the Smithsonian any where in the world. ” “And the Smithsonian, more than a collection of objects, is a collection of some of the most fas cinating people in the world,” Carr said. “It’s like a post graduate center with scholars and experts and scientists and artists — really wonderful people who have devoted their entire lives to obscure subjects.” Each program has a theme such as “Crossing the Distance, "The Last Flower” or “Designs for Living. ” “The Last Flower is a look at some of the things that were dis appearing on earth but now are being saved. First there’s a visit to a witch doctor’s hut in Kenya. Then it’s back to the Smithsonian’s National Zoo Park in Washington, D.C., for a peek at a golden lion tamarin monkey; over to the Indian Ocean island of Aldabra to look at the giant tortoises; on to Milan where Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” is being restored, and home to America for a tour of the fantasy architecture of the past — buildings shaped like hotdogs, big fish and a derby hat. And that’s just one show! No one is worried about run ning out of subjects though — McCullough notes the Smithso nian complex houses about 2 bil lion articles. Summing up his feelings about the project, McCullough said: “The Smithsonian is the longest running, biggest, best show in America. High time it was on tele vision.” “And isn’t it nice not to have an English series?”
