Episode details

Available for over a year
We visit the Science Museum in London where a new exhibition has opened to show the influence of complex mathematical models on the work of sculptor Henry Moore. We discuss why the makers of a new comedy film staring a cartoon version of Charles Darwin felt it necessary to drop the word 'scientists' from the title for international release. And we look behind the government plans to allow the security services greater access to our online data, emails and text messages. We ask what information could really be gleaned by subjecting such data to algorithmic analysis.
