This article describes the "first true scientist", an islamic scholar who lived in AD 965. Then and for many centuries later, the Islamic world was known for its scholars and scientists (as well as fanciful commodities). These days, it's mainly war, religious fanatics and oil. Shame, really.

Good programme to watch but I'll miss it as I'll be RPGing. Thank the BBC for iplayer. :o)
