James Burke's Connections

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Faith in Numbers
James Burke takes a look at 2,000 years of human ingenuity.
What's so special about French knickers that makes it possible to print the RADIO TIMES? What's the connection between the rats of Troyes and the American census of 1890? And why did everyone get a soaking when they went to dinner with the Archbishop of Salzburg?
Produced by MICK JACKSON and DAVID KENNARD
