Eureka!

This week we’re getting under the skin of one of Rick’s pet peeves: people being proud to say they’re bad at mathematics! We’re discovering if some people are just born bad at numbers, whether gender has any effect on our ability to manage sums and if any of this is even important in the age of calculators?!

As always, we've got an expert on the show to help us. Enter Director of Cambridge Mathematics, Lynne McClure OBE. She'll help us answer the question 'does it matter if you can't do maths?'

Human fascination with animals dates back to our earliest known history - but just how close are we to breaking the communication barrier? This episode features an animal menagerie, as we examine the communication methods of prairie dogs, sea creatures and more! We’re even learning about a fascinating ape, who’s rumoured to have learnt American Sign Language... As always, we’ll also be asking one of the leading experts on animal communication, Professor Barbara King, to answer our question: 'will we ever talk to animals?’
