A Late Night Tonight

Oh dear, it looks as though I’ll have a late night tonight. First up is Dangerous Knowledge on BBC Four, starting at 23:05. The documentary will look at the work and lives of three brilliant mathematicians and an equally brilliant physicist: Georg Cantor, Ludwig Boltzmann, Kurt Gödel and Alan Turing. And then at 00:35 tomorrow morning is another chance to see Derek Jacobi in Breaking the Code, which is an excellent film adaptation of the stage play about Alan Turing.

 

Black coffee and matchsticks at the ready…
