I’ve been asked (really, I have) to upload another clip from Life Story, so here you go. It’s when Francis Crick (Tim Piggott-Smith) and James Watson (Jeff Goldblum) get to show off to their fellow scientists the DNA model they’ve built – said scientists including John Kendrew and Max Perutz , who’s moved to tears by the beauty of it.

Enjoy!
