A six-part series on the men who conquered disease.
with Arthur Lowe as Louis Pasteur and James Grout as Robert Koch

In the small French town of Arbois stand the graves of Louis Pasteur's three young daughters. Two had died from typhoid, one from an inoperable tumour - a stark reminder of the background to his struggle to find the cause of disease.

"One of the most fascinating and totally engrossing documentaries..." (Daily Telegraph)
