Jeff Goldblum narrates this five-part survey of "the force at the heart of life." Part 1 charts the three-way race to discover "the instructions that [tell] cells what to do." There was plenty of blood left on British laboratory floors by the time James Watson and Francis Crick identified the double helix on Feb. 28, 1953. Watson recalls his role here with relish. (The camera-shy Crick is seen only briefly in a 1994 interview). Meanwhile, loser Maurice Wilkins is decidedly more circumspect.
