A History of the Infinite: Death and Immortality

Series 1, episode 9

Adrian Moore ponders humans' finite nature and confronts the question of whether, if it were possible, people really would want to live for ever. He discusses the Czech composer Janacek's opera The Makropulos Case, whose heroine Elina has discovered the secret of eternal life - but rather than making her happy, her long life has become unbearably tedious
