Sigmund Freud
Season 1Episode 330 minOct 21, 2003
With a life measured out in cigar-cutters and cocaine wraps, Sigmund
Freud was clearly a genius. Here was a man who looked around the
world at the start of the 20th century, saw brutal empires, millions
being sucked into soulless factories, impending world war, and said:
“I know what causes the problems - we want to have sex with our
mothers.”
Mark Steel reveals the absurdity and complexity of that genius as he
travels from Vienna to London in Freud’s wake. Our Sigmund, played
by Martin Hyder, steps out of the darkness like Harry Lime, snorts
cocaine like Al Pacino in Scarface, and treats his friends like
Richard Ashcroft in the video for Bittersweet Symphony.
In the course of the journey, Mark is given a 'shoeing' in a London
pub, eats a raw onion, walks with the strippers in downtown Vienna,
and finds himself inside the dreamworld of David Lynch. Surely the
rudest, funniest lecture BBC TV has ever seen, this is the secret
world of Sigmund Freud.
