Short? It's 90 minutes long! It is also superb, one of my favourite TV documentaries. It deals with Cantor, Boltzmann, Gödel and Turing, and revolves around how their work eventually destroyed them, hence the title. I love showing it to people: it was made for BBC4 and as such it is understandable by people with little knowledge of maths, but it's always capable of blowing their minds.
