Paracelsus - a story of heroism in a bloody age. Part 1, Peasants in revolt.

The first in a seven-part series which dramatises the life and work of Paracelsus (1493-1541) whose medical teaches and practises outraged the 15th century establishment, but are now thought to be forerunners to today's medicine and even to medicine to come. This part looks at how Paracelsus tried to stand in the way of peasant oppression.
