Hormones shape each and every one of us, affecting almost every aspect of our lives - our height, our weight, our appetites, how we grow and reproduce, and even how we behave and feel. This documentary tells the wonderful and often weird story of how hormones were discovered. Presenter John Wass, one the country's leading experts on hormones, relates some amazing stories - how as recently as the 19th century boys were castrated to keep their pure soprano voice, how juices were extracted from testicles in the hope they would rejuvenate old men and how true medical heroes like Frederick Banting discovered a way to make insulin, thus saving the lives of countless diabetes sufferers.

Sheer brilliance. Billy Connolly's razor-sharp mixture of bewildered surrealism and ultra-perceptive observational comedy is showcased here. If you're not pained with laughter at the routines on football, swimming and cookbooks, something vital has been removed from your brain. Buy it - it's better therapy than the stuff you get in clinics.

Le professeur Jim Al-Khalili retrace l'histoire de la théorie scientifique sans doute la plus importante, la plus exacte et pourtant la plus déconcertante jusqu'ici : celle de la physique quantique. Son histoire commence au début du XXe siècle, lorsque les scientifiques tentaient de mieux comprendre le fonctionnement des ampoules. Cette simple question les a bientôt conduits à se plonger plus profondément sur la question du fonctionnement mystérieux de la matière et les constituants élémentaires de l'atome dans le monde qui nous entoure. Ils ont alors découvert un phénomène différent de tout ce qu'ils connaissaient jusque-là, un royaume où la réalité n'apparaît que lorsqu'on l'observe. Einstein détestait l'idée que la nature, à son niveau le plus fondamental, soit gouvernée par le hasard. Jim révèle comment, dans les années 30, Einstein pensait avoir trouvé une faille dans la mécanique quantique. Cette assertion ne fut pas prise au sérieux avant les années 60.
