A personal view by J. Bronowski
Music of the Spheres
Mathematics is a way of describing the world that is seen, heard and touched. In the olive groves of Samos, the late Dr Bronowski gives his own proof of Pythagoras's famous theorem and traces the spread of Greek ideas through the bustling bazaars of the Islamic empire to the fabulous courts of Spain and Renaissance Europe. The programme looks at the interlocking of numbers and nature.

For 50 years Jack, Ken and Norman Taylor have worked together making specialist hand-built bikes. It's a business that grew out of their own racing careers. The brothers describe themselves as 'something left over from the steam age'. Tonight they reminisce about their years competing in the Tour of Britain, their early attempts at frame building and, with retirement approaching, reflect on a craft business that is thriving on virtually no technology.

'I had fantasies about murdering women, dismembering them... I was crazy and would have spent the rest of my life in a mental institution. Bettelheim saved my life.' (Sandy Lewis, Financier)

Bruno Bettelheim is widely recognised as one of the great psychologists of our time. His major achievement has been to rescue some of the most untreatable children it is possible to imagine. Many of them recovered and today live full and satisfying lives. Bettelheim talks about his work, and former patients describe how he helped them rebuild their lives.
