Good morning everyone. I have been saving one of my very favourite Georgians for this week. He only just squeaks in to being a Georgian, and for quite a lot of his life he was a Victorian, but being born in 1791 when King George III was on the throne (or not) he qualifies for our series.

I had forgotten what a wonderful person Michael Faraday was. When I was a little girl Thursday afternons were very special: it was the day the  mobile library came to our area and I could go and choose my books. There was a children's biography of Michael Faraday in the van, and that was often the book I chose.

Those of you who are in lessons next week will find out more about why MF is my heartthrob, for the rest of you here's a documentary about British scientists:
