'In Search of Science', Season 1, Episodes 1,2,3: Explore the controversial, often terrifying, relationship between British Science and the public that began with the macabre experiments of Giovani Aldini. In 1803, Aldini publicly electrocuted a hanged man’s corpse—a shocking display of galvanism that inspired Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus . This film dives into the scientific controversies, from the real-life Frankenstein's monster to the development of the nuclear bomb and the ethics of GM crops and animal testing. Discover how the fear of science "going too far" still haunts our culture, and how Aldini's scandalous 'reanimation' research ultimately laid the theoretical groundwork for modern defibrillators and deep brain stimulation surgery.
