Michael Mosley tries out a bizarre experiment using human urine, first performed by a seventeenth-century alchemist called Hennig Brand. Searching for the philosophers stone a substance with the power to transform base metals into gold Brand began by boiling down gallons of urine. With help from Dr Andrea Sella, Michael repeats Brands experiment, and finds something almost as magical: the element phosphorus.

It takes over 3 years to develop the philosophers stone with urine? That is the best ingredient to use though. Check out 'the book of aquarius'

These fools call themselves scientists...lol They know nothing of Alchemy and are here only to make a buck on TV. If this clip was that stupid I wonder what the networks are paying them for their other drivel.

engineer245= dumbass. Alchemy is the processes of nature accelerated. Not magic...not spiritual bullshit. there is evidence all through history that people did this shit and made all this "magic" happen. Do your research and stop talking out your ass!

So essentially the BBC have taken Chemistry: A Volatile History from BBC Four and put it on BBC Two, added an anoying presenter, and tried even harder to set the experiments in castles. Come on, some imagination?? That's even the same professor who showed that same trick on A Volatile History.
