3. Bletchley Park and Beyond
Dr Hannah Fry, Richard Rogan and Bobby Seagull to reflect on Radio Archive programmes full of codes, cyphers and subterfuge.
As a mathematician, Dr Hannah Fry specialises in understanding patterns of human behaviour.
Nowhere does the human factor smash headlong into the reality of numbers than in the secretive world of code-breaking.
In the last of three programmes, Hannah is delving into the 91¸£ÀûÉç archives to present a fascinating selection of features all about codes, secrets and ciphers.
Plus insights galore from Hannah’s two experts who’ve got numbers and words covered: Maths teacher Bobby Seagull - author of ‘The Life-changing Magic of Numbers’ and Richard Rogan - editor of The Times Cryptic Crossword.
