Professor Jim Al-Khalili tells the story of our quest to master nature's most mysterious force -
electricity. Until fairly recently it was seen as a magical power, but it is now the lifeblood of
the modern world and underpins every aspect of our technological advancements. This series tells of
dazzling leaps of imagination and extraordinary experiments - a story of maverick geniuses who used
electricity to light our cities, to communicate across the seas and through the air, to create
modern industry and to give us the digital revolution.

2. The Age of Invention
In the second episode, Jim discovers how harnessing the link between magnetism and electricity would
completely transform the world, allowing us to generate a seemingly limitless amount of electric
power which we could utilise to drive machines, communicate across continents and light our homes.
This is the story of how scientists and engineers unlocked the nature of electricity in an
extraordinary century of innovation and invention.
