Truth
History is littered with people who were cheated and got no recognition for the great inventions/discvoveries. I am pleased this programme brought some of it to "Light"!!
Fabulous programming
Am I alone in thinking this is the kind of excellent viewing (entertaining, enterprising, informative, educational) that is naturally selected for leisure viewing on BBC i-player?
Or is it (despite being accessible and brilliantly written, produced and presented) perceived to be simply too intellectual to be valued?
If that's the Beeb's current way of thinking, as it appears to be, the Corp should think again, radically and historically.
Excellent programming. Why not make the most of what we do best, for once?
Hi Nick, Many thanks for you
Hi Nick,
Many thanks for you comments I'll pass them onto the OpenLearn team.
We are in the process of adding a link through to the programme on the iPlayer from this page, but in the meantime you can access it from here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00kjq6d/episodes/player.
Thanks again Nick.
