The Forgotten Voyage: Alfred Russel Wallace and his discovery of evolution by natural selection

The dramatised story of Alfred Russel Wallace, the 19th century naturalist who published the theory of evolution by natural selection together with Charles Darwin in 1858 - more than a year before Darwin's book "On the Origin of Species" was released. This film was directed by Peter Crawford and was broadcast by the BBC as part of its The World About Us series in 1983. For more information about it see http://www.petercrawford.co.uk/tvdrama.php

This really is an excellent film - without doubt the best docudrama ever made about Wallace's life and work. It was uploaded to YouTube in 2013 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Wallace's death. Peter Crawford has given permission for this film to be put on YouTube.
