Starting with the original <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Victor_Frankenstein\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Frankenstein<\/a> &#8211; the grisly 19th-century tale of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/George_Forster_(murderer)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">George Foster<\/a>&#8216;s hanging and subsequent &#8216;electrocution&#8217;, Brian confronts the idea that science can go &#8216;too far&#8217;. From the nuclear bomb to genetic modification, British science has always been at the cutting edge of discovery, but are British scientists feckless meddlers, or misunderstood visionaries whose gifts to humanity are corrupted by the unscrupulous?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><div class='GTTabsNavigation' style='display:none'><span class='GTTabs_nav_next'><a href='#GTTabs_ul_18627' onClick='GTTabs_show(1,18627)'>Episode 2: <strong>Method and Madness<\/strong> &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='GTTabs_divs' id='GTTabs_1_18627'>\n<span class='GTTabs_titles'><b>Episode 2: <strong>Method and Madness<\/strong><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This time, Professor Cox celebrates Britain&#8217;s pivotal role in creating modern science. From performing <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Isaac_Newton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Isaac Newton<\/a>&#8216;s iconic light experiment to meeting a wartime code breaker and making hydrogen explosions, Professor Cox leads the way through 300 years of British history. Along the way, he introduces the obsessive, eccentric, visionary characters who dragged science into the modern world by developing a powerful new way to investigate nature. He reveals what science really is, explores the mindset of those who practise it, and shows how science runs through the past, present and future of everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><div class='GTTabsNavigation' style='display:none'><span class='GTTabs_nav_prev'><a href='#GTTabs_ul_18627' onClick='GTTabs_show(0,18627)'>&lt;&lt; Episode 1: <strong>Frankenstein\u2019s Monsters<\/strong><\/a><\/span><span class='GTTabs_nav_next'><a href='#GTTabs_ul_18627' onClick='GTTabs_show(2,18627)'>Episode 3: <strong>Clear Blue Skies<\/strong> &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='GTTabs_divs' id='GTTabs_2_18627'>\n<span class='GTTabs_titles'><b>Episode 3: <strong>Clear Blue Skies<\/strong><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>British science has a long track record of accidental discoveries improving our lot.

But is this the best way to carry on?<\/p>\n<p>Professor Brian Cox ends his homage to British science by looking at how discoveries are made, asking whether it is better to let the scientists do their own thing, and hope for happy accidents, or to only back scientific winners at the risk of missing the occasional gems.<\/p>\n<div class='GTTabsNavigation' style='display:none'><span class='GTTabs_nav_prev'><a href='#GTTabs_ul_18627' onClick='GTTabs_show(1,18627)'>&lt;&lt; Episode 2: <strong>Method and Madness<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor Brian Cox is going in search of the best of British science.
