This was good. The actors reenacting some of the scientists' experimental techniques was quite interesting, too. It shows how they were just sort of winging it all as they went - like some of us might be familiar with.

The one fellow was experimenting by inhaling different gases he was producing. He almost killed himself with carbon monoxide and some others while even getting a bit of a thrill out of the nitrous oxide.

It should be online for about a month.
THE MYSTERY OF MATTER: SEARCH FOR THE ELEMENTS is an exciting three-part series about one of the great adventures in the history of science: the long and continuing quest to understand what the world is made of. Three hour-long episodes tell the story of seven of history’s most important scientists as they seek to identify, understand and organize the basic building blocks of matter. Emmy winner Michael Emerson hosts.
