... Without Going Through the Brains of Either

I love BBC4! I would elope with BBC4 if I could be sure of getting it down the ladder. I imagine Alan Yentob standing fuming at the window shouting "why? why?". After a week of art which made me feel cleverer but still stupid we now have the small boy that is Marcus du Sautoy doing The Story of Maths which was like channeling Bronowski via Michael Rosen. The show did in fact show the proof of the Pythagorean theorem using the same method that Bronowski used in The Ascent of Man though of course today we have computer graphics to replace the cut tiles in sand of yesteryear. And then both programmes went on to discuss Harmonics. Happy bunnies we are.
