Just saw tonight's episode - presented by Marcus du Sautoy. Very good programme. UK viewers can watch again on iPlayer. 8:00 BBC4 Tuesdays for the next few ....

Thought about watching it, but put 'Dragons Den Canada' on instead! (needed something lighter!)
Will catch up with it on iplayer

Is it a new episode?. I saw old ones. Great
well, I have always felt that we are not limited by our compassion or by our passion or resources but by our economy.

The radio show was good. It's available as a free BBC podcast as well. Though, there wasn't an episode on Hilbert, Russell, Godel and the logicist project, but one on Bourbaki, even though the importance and influence of the former outweighs the latter in 20th Century Mathematics.
