Horizon presents two films to celebrate two centenaries:

Rutherford
Ernest Rutherford, Nobel Laureate in Physics, was probably the greatest experimental scientist ever. A simple, practical man, he made his apparatus out of petrol pumps and tea chests. He hummed - 'Onward Christian Soldiers' as he performed and inspired work which led to the atomic bomb.
Why, in spite of his practical approach to all things, did Rutherford not foresee the application of nuclear energy? Why did he, as late as three years before the Second World War, describe speculations on atomic power as moonshine?

The Cavendish Today
Since Rutherford, many things have changed in the laboratory which he led. The tea chests have made way for equipment 60,000 times more powerful.
But have basic attitudes changed? Or do scientists still prefer to remain unaware of the implications of their work?
