X-Rays: the Early Days

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A Yesterday's Witness programme. X-rays were discovered quite by chance in Germany in 1895. A handful of enthusiasts grasped the medical value of the discovery and founded the earliest hospital X-ray departments. What none of these pioneers could know were the terrible dangers to the human body of accumulated radiation.
Four radiographers recall what it was like to be among the first ' X-ray men'.
