John Stuart Mill laid the foundations for modern ideas about freedom: but his own remarkable education by his father is a story of compulsion and manipulation that still resonates today. Was Mill merely the product of a remarkable intellectual experiment? And could this "thinking machine" ever break free? The psychohistory of the forging of a remarkable mind is analysed in Mill's own words and the thoughts of Mill scholars from around the world. With Jamie Glover as JS Mill, John Dougall as James Mill and other readings by loan Meredith. Producer Mark Burman
