Genius (2006)
Today, perhaps, the word "genius" is over-used, but it does describe perfectly the men who are featured in this enthralling series. Sometimes their ideas and theories were so radical, they were considered dangerous or subversive by the rulers of their day.

Charles Darwin
Featuring specially-commissioned footage shot at Down House, the home of Charles Darwin, this fascinating DVD tells the story of an extraordinary man who re-shaped scientific thinking and left the world an invaluable legacy. The program explores Darwin's personal life, looks at the impact of his work in his own time and on the modern world, and shows how both his life and work were profoundly influenced by his surroundings.

DVD features include:
All-new footage shot at Down House;
Superb animation and graphics;
Historic photographs and images;
Expert commentary and analyses.

Leonardo Da Vinci
The story of the brilliant Italian artist, sculptor, architect and engineer is told in this informative program. Leonardo's legacy to the world came in so many forms; in the breathtaking beauty of The Last Supper and The Mona Lisa; his rich collection of drawing; the mirror-written notebooks containing original thoughts on astronomy, biology and physiology.

This DVD features:
State of the art 3D graphics to explain and test Leonardo's theories and designs;

It also includes expert commentary and analyses by eminent historians.
