Horizon - man and science today.

One of the most controversial figures in the Second World War was Professor Frederick Lindemann, Churchill's friend and wartime scientific adviser, who has been called "the scientist with the greatest power in history." In this role Lindemann has been described by some as a man who nearly lost Britain the war, but by others as a man who did more than most to win it. This programme tries to unravel some of the complex situations from the development of radar to the bombing of Germany in which Lindemann played a major role.

The fastest game on television between Eleanor Summerfield, Olga Franklin, Norman Hackforth, Paul Jennings with Max Robertson as umpire and this week's guests, Maxine Audley, Katie Boyle.

While you have been boggling at the speed with which Norman Hackforth lobs, smashes, and drop-shots his opponents with words (and so he should-after all it was he who thought up the game), how many of you have realised that you were watching the man who for years lived in the basement of Broadcasting House and announced 'The next object' in Twenty Questions?
