Synopsis:

A beautifully crafted, captivating mini-series charting the life and times of one of the greatest pioneering scientists of the 20th century who received the Nobel Prize for her discovery of Radium. This daring portrait gives viewers a rare insight into the heartbreak and scandal that rocked Curie's early years following the death of her husband which had a negative impact on her esteemed position within the scientific world and how she overcame this to become one of the most influential women in science. Award winning actress Jane Lapotaire's (The Devil's Crown, Anthony & Cleopatra, Love Hurts) convincing performance in the title role of Marie Curie first brought her to wide attention, acting as a springboard to a long, successful career both on screen and stage. Lapotaire is also joined by acclaimed actor, Nigel Hawthorne (Madness of King George, Amistad, Yes Minister) as her husband Pierre. Music by Carl Davis.

Jane Lapotaire takes the lead role as the pioneering chemist and physicist Marie Curie in the captivating 1977 BBC series that brought her to wider attention.
