WHEN WILL it end? This was pretty decent fare, actually, and the nearest you got to Johnny Ball in school hours. A veritable pot pourri of mathematical animations and sketches, including a square (the pipes of CHARLES “WORDY” COLLINGWOOD) talking to a circle, a character called Des Cartes, and of course the DOCTOR HOW? mini-series wherein serial moonlighter TONY HUGHES dressed up as Tom Baker and “solved” various maths-related phenomena, eg. an invisible boundary line in a park which makes portions of paper plates disappear, or when the laws of probability get all fucked up and when they (for instance) cut up a newspaper and read words at random, a la David Bowie, it still made perfect sense (pas a la David Bowie). Written by David Taft and David Roseveare (thanks, by the way, to the former, for popping up in our comments and politely telling us so).

No! Written entirely by me and David Roseveare!
Glad you liked it though. You were supposed to laugh while you were learning.
