Is anyone-else following this on BBC2?

I was very excited about this series when I first saw it advertised, however because of personal commitments tonight's show was the first I've been able to watch "live", and I have to say that I thought Chris Packham did a fantastic job of putting forward the cases for the four "scientist" icons.

 

Going into the programme I'd have said that Einstein was a no-brainer for "top icon", but I thought Packham made a very strong case for Marie Curie instead (I'd never heard of the petites Curies before), and the story of Tu Youyou was a revelation.  

I’ve not watched it yet Eugene ....but I do like Chris Packham

I would strongly recommend catching up on iPlayer, Baz. Apart from the icons themselves being fascinating, Packham is very informative and positive, and he's able to offer some interesting personal insights into Alan Turing...
