From the BBC:
In this one-off documentary, David Malone looks at four brilliant mathematicians - Georg Cantor, Ludwig Boltzmann, Kurt Gödel and Alan Turing - whose genius has profoundly affected us, but which tragically drove them insane and eventually led to them all committing suicide.
It’s a little sensational, but how else are they going to get people to watch a documentary about mathematicians? I could have done without that, but it is still good.
