Description: Narrator, Paul Vaughan Film editor, Peter Delfgou Concentrates upon the role of chemistry and physics in finding the structure of DNA; it thereby sets the scene for the rise of molecular biology and its foundation in crystallography and model building. Stresses the pragmatic model building of Crick and Watson and their mistakes. Contrasts their work with the classical crystallography of the Kings' group as well as their embarrassments. Ends with the realization of the correct base pairings to the confirmation of the twin helical structure from Franklin's x-ray pictures of the a and b forms of DNA and thence to the final structure
