Cold Fusion
One year ago the world was told the power of the sun could be created in a test tube.
Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons announced cold fusion not, as would be usual, in the pages of a learned journal, but at a press conference in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The possibility of an inexhaustible clean energy source became a media event, with scientists taking their data from the television news.
What happened to science in Utah on that day? Horizon reflects on the tragicomedy of cold fusion with Martin Fleischmann and scientists in America and England who tried it for themselves. Writer/Producer James Burge Editor Robin Brightwell

17-year-old girlfriend Tracy. He learns that his ex-wife, skilfully portrayed by Meryl Streep , is about to publish an expose of their less than happy marriage.
