He was a scientist who thought he could turn lead into gold. He was
an obsessive with a secret Swiss boyfriend. And, in the world of The
Mark Steel Lectures, he likes Alphabetti Spaghetti and the
Communards.
The contradictions of this fascinating character, half-scientist,
half-magician, take us from Newton�s childhood penchant for arson
to the Houses of Parliament via Old Compton Street, discovering on
the way why God can�t draw circles and what Cliff Richard will be
doing in the year 3150.
Mark Steel explores the world and the discoveries of Isaac Newton �
surely one of Britain�s finest scientific alchemical gay
fraud-busting genius MPs.
