: Horizon: A Measure of Uncertainty
This week's programme in the series on Man and Science today.We live in a world of numbers, of counting and measuring. If something can be counted - city traffic, road accidents, rising crime figures, slum housing, or even your bets at the dogs - someone will be counting it.
How useful is all this information that is being gathered about us? Since the Election two months ago made the statistics of the polling organisations look extremely silly, most people have their doubts. But whether we like it or not, our lives are increasingly being shaped by that strange new figure of our time, the statistician, Tonight's programme looks at the power of statistics, examines what went wrong with the pollsters' forecasts and also how putting numbers on people and things is affecting and changing a city - Glasgow. As more and more important decisions are being made by the statistician, are we to fare well or badly?

Williams. For this film, made last summer and first shown soon after his death early this year, he retold the story of their action - now a part of Welsh history.

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
