Been a brilliant series.
Only watched 3 episodes.
My vote goes to Marie Curie at the moment

Aleister Crowley ?

That's right Nimmers. Crowley, the self styled Great Beast 666 owned Boleskine House on the shores of Loch Ness, later to be bought in 1970 by Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page who was a great admirer of Crowley. I visited Boleskine in 1978 and the place gave me the creeps.

Unfortunately it recently burnt down.

Strange guy was Aleister, his brain worked in a different way :) Anyway The Beatles must've liked him.

Aleister Crowley (born Edward Alexander Crowley; 12 October 1875 – 1 December 1947) was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, painter, novelist, and mountaineer. He founded the religion of Thelema, identifying himself as the prophet entrusted with guiding humanity into the Æon of Horus in the early 20th century. A prolific writer, he published widely over the course of his life.

Crowley believed in the objective existence of magic, which he chose to spell "Magick", an older archaic spelling of the word. In his book Magick in Theory and Practice, Crowley defined Magick as "the Science and Art of causing change to occur in conformity with Will." He describes how to communicate on a subliminal level by speaking backwards in order to gain power over others...

Einstein

Absolute genius, understood the world like no other man before him and hopefully his work on atomic theory will lead to the nuclear holocaust that I think our species deserves

Einstein. Or GDM.

Einstein was all mouth and no trousers.

It won’t just be our species though, shamefully. It would a inflict a huge amount of death and/or suffering across all species and possibly fuck up the planet too. Earth should repair itself, but it may not. It’s at least possible. What a fucking legacy for humanity, that would be.
