The third and final episode entitled 'THE QUANTUM REVOLUTION' aired the other night on BBC4 and was the most optimistic of the 3 episodes, or at least the the least doomsday like. I found it really enjoyable as it discussed very SciFi sounding ideas as real possibilities such as Arthur C. Clarke's Space Elevator due to advances in Carbon Nanotube's.
This clip about superconductivity wasn't in the show but they demonstrated the effect, I include it here because its so cool.
