I don’t often have television on but this evening, I happened on something called Discovering the Elements on BBC4. It caught my attention because I like chemistry and I like the history of scientific discovery.
In particular, the development of the Periodic Table of the Elements fascinated me when I was about 15 years old so episode 1 is particularly fascinating.
From what I can see on the BBC science page, it looks like this is a three part series. I am not sure what’s coming up next but I am looking forward to it.
Sometimes television is actually worth something.
