Marie Curie

Not since Microbes and Men (1974) has the BBC managed to produce such a highly watchable masterpiece, which has, unfortunately fallen by the wayside in the annuls of historic and scientific drama. The series charts this amazing woman's rise through the scientific ranks of French academia to unprecedented levels, not achieved since and who's work laid the foundations of the science of Quantum physics and cancer treatments. The actors, storyline and setting works together to make this series the absolute watchable masterpiece for anyone interested in the history of science and medicine and a must-see for those whose work it is to promote the role of women in science. You will not fail to enjoy this.
