Description
In this three-part BBC series, Dr Adam Rutherford
tells the extraordinary story of the scientific quest to discover the
secrets of the living cell. The first part,
The Hidden Kingdom,
explores how centuries of scientific and religious dogma were
overturned by the earliest discoveries of the existence of cells, and
how scientists came to realise that there was, literally, more to life
than meets the eye.
The second part, The Chemistry of Life,
episode explores how scientists delved ever deeper into the world of
the cell, seeking to reveal the magic ingredient that can spark a bundle
of chemicals into life. Their discoveries have brought us to the brink
of being able to create life for ourselves.
The third and final part, The Spark of Life,
reveals how our knowledge of cells has brought us to the brink of one
of the most important moments in history. Scientists are close to
repeating what has happened only once in four billion years – the
creation of a new life form.
