Title: One to watch
Post by: Bayes on Oct 18, 10:42 AM 2012
BBC 4 @ 9 pm this evening: Tails You Win: The Science of Chance  (link:://:.bbc.co.uk/blogs/tv/2012/10/tails-you-win-science-of-chance.shtml)

Looks interesting and has a contribution by Mike Shackleford (The Wizard of Odds).

If you don't live in the UK, you may be able to see it on iplayer, although your mileage may vary as I think they check your IP and block you if you're not in the UK.

I don't have the facility to record, but I could download it from iplayer. Not sure what format it's saved in though. There's a free app which can play iplayer programmes, but as far as I'm aware it only works on Linux.

The reason it's restricted to the UK is because you have to pay a licence fee if you own a TV here, that's what funds the BBC.

Brilliant stuff.

The Olympics are still on there,if you do a search.

I thought so, we have public service TV here, and theire WEB broadcasting can everyone in the world get acccess to. Thats the reason modern media has start a debatte if not using TV fees as you can get it via computer, It may be taxed pro head here.

I watched it. Nothing much to comment just what you would expect from a documentary.
