Anyone else watching on BBC Four?

Interesting insight into how it all began

Yes i follow anything like this but on this occasion its all a repeat run from last year so assume you missed it first time round.

Shock and Awe i found to be quite interesting especially concerning poor old Oliver Lodge.

Sadly though, far too much about the great man himself, Mr Tesla was missing and as for Marconi and his patents. A famous quote from Otis Pond, one of Teslas engineers.

"Looks as if Marconi got the jump on you." Tesla replied, "Marconi is a good fellow. Let him continue. He is using seventeen of my patents."

Pure genius.

I think its part of a series as Nikola Tesla was featured on last weeks show, who unfortunatley died a lonely man as he devoted his whole life to the discovery and adaption/fight for AC electricity
