  • "Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was one of the most fascinating scientists of the 20th century. He invented, developed or imagined the technology that gave the world electricity, remote control, neon and fluorescent lighting, radio transmission and much more. Brilliant and charismatic, Tesla's talent took him to the height of celebrity. This is the first program to tell the full story of his life and work. Like many geniuses, Tesla was not a conventional man. He gave his life to realise his visions, while others made millions with his inventions. Tragically, he died penniless and nearly forgotten."@en
