John Taylor was hailed by the Courts of 18th Century Europe as an infallible eye surgeon, able to restore the sight to hundreds of patients thanks to his miraculous cures - or so he said. Considered by others to be a swindler and a quack, he left a trail of debts and blinded patients behind him as he fled the many cities he'd lived in before dying in infamy. This is his story.

@eatalotoftoast Says:
So... when did he become president??
@briandoss9232 Says:
So glad I don't live in 18th century Europe...
@StellaBella488 Says:
Perhaps he should have stayed on the side of research…but ego and his pride in his medical lineage betrayed him.
@bethgollmar1640 Says:
Would you consider doing one on Egas Moniz, the inventor of the lobotomy?
@poil8351 Says:
i also belief he may have killed handel as well.
@aaronbritton3546 Says:
Is there any plans for videos about JS Bach, Beethoven or Mozart!?
@adebowaleadebiyi5998 Says:
Why does Simon keep saying ‘ocultist' when he should say ‘oculist'?
@dannyherron9455 Says:
Damn man, your machine gun delivery has gotten even worse than before! Lower the dosage!
@teresataylor9087 Says:
Oh hell no he destroyed Bach 🤦🏾♀️
@michaelgreen1515 Says:
In Norfolk no surprises here then!!!
@docm27 Says:
You said OCULTIST twice. You also said lithotomy was for gallstones. In fact, it is for bladder stones. Shabby
@alyosha_karamazov Says:
Did he say occultist to the king? Like Aleister Crowley with a scalpel? Kind of a scary image but it's what I'm going to call my opthalmologist from now on.
@maryfreebed9886 Says:
One of his descendants is an eye surgeon now, this time actually a good one.
@skeffrey5092 Says:
Casanova
@skeffrey5092 Says:
you really need to do a video on Casanova
@palette_1563 Says:
This guy also operated on Handel. Imagine being a person who had the opportunity to meet both Bach and Handel.
@rebecca1431 Says:
Whistler has a massive ego. He is on the screen 90% of the time
@Ipsifendis Says:
occultist to the king???
@adarthvinvader Says:
Our Fact boy just mispronounced Oculist, eh?
@jasontoddman7265 Says:

@benjohnson1372 Says:
Any chance you can do a bio on the sultan of Brunei? Thanks ✌️
@ElectronicsGuy666 Says:
Anyone know the name of the song that starts at 14:35? Quite sure it was ripped off for The Goonies soundtrack… right near the beginning when the Fratelli brother escapes from jail and the police chase ensues.
@weezie1982 Says:
Does anyone think he speaks really fast? It’s hard for me to understand sometimes. Just me….probably.

Hi Simon! And the rest of the ingenious team at Biographics! I would love to see your informative take on Michael Lang: American concert promoter and organizer of all three Woodstock events (‘69, ‘94, ‘99).

@shatbad2960 Says:
What a sad end Bach suffered at the hands of this narcissistic charlatan.
@jaikee9477 Says:
Thanks to this quack Bach couldn't finish BWV 1080, The Art Of Fugue, arguably the most advanced and brilliant piece of music ever written.
@guyplachy9688 Says:
Occultist or Oculist? I was getting a bit confused towards the end. ;)
