Biography: Alexander Fleming

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

by Ian Curteis
[Starring] Rupert Davies as Sir Almroth Wright, Bill Gavin as Alexander Fleming

At 47, Fleming is an eminent biologist. But the shy, introvert qualities that make him a fine researcher don't help him in the battles with his boss, Sir Almroth Wright, to make his greatest discovery - penicillin - into practical form.
