This is more of a medical post than a cancer one, but tonight (Tuesday 20th October 2009), there is a new three part mini-series on BBC2 Scotland called “The Scots who made the Modern World“. It starts at 9pm and the first episode features medicine and looks at early work on malaria and tuberculosis, the development of drugs like penicillin and moves on to modern day discoveries in cloning and stem cell therapies.
The program is repeated on Sunday the 25th October at 11pm, again on BBC Scotland and should be available on the BBC iPlayer. The next episode in the series will be screened next Tuesday and focuses on Scotland’s engineering achievements.
Did you watch it? What did you think?
Update
Well, I tuned into BBC Two and I got Horizon – The Secret You (despite the program information saying “The Scots who made the modern world”), then at 9:10 pm it changed to The Scots program just when I was getting into the Horizon program. Come on BBC, that’s pretty poor!
If you are more impressed with the images than the text “
