Shock and Awe: The Story of Electricity
1. Spark
Another immensely interesting and informative documentary with Jim Al-Khalili in which he tells how the first 'natural philosophers' began to unlock electricity's mysteries, studying its curious link to life and building instruments to create it.

By strange coincidence, just been watching that on TV having recorded it. Really well-presented, isn't it?

Yeah... All his shows are equally well presented.
Atom, Everything and Nothing, that one about the quest for absolute zero (a personal favourite)... all examples of how science history documentaries should be made.
