The medieval alchemists made elements react to create magnificent shows,
enthralling kings and commoners alike, but their secrets were never revealed
until now.

In the first of this year's Christmas Lectures, Dr Peter Wothers explores what
the alchemists knew about the air we breathe and reveals how our modern
knowledge of these elements can be used to control fire, defy gravity and
harness the power of a lightning storm. Peter is joined by the cast of the
musical Loserville and is helped in his exploration of the 118 modern elements
by a periodic table made from audience members at the Royal Institution.
