The miniseries Absolute Zero and the Conquest of Cold aired in late July on British BBC4 to rave reviews. It will air on primetime PBS on January 8 and 15, 2008 at 8:00 PM (check local listings) as part of the Nova science program. “This was an engaging tale of human endeavor and frailty, a century-spanning trial of magnificent commitment and even greater disappointment,” said reviewer Paul Whitelaw.
