3. Bletchley Park and Beyond

Episode 3 of 3

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 蜜芽传媒 archives to present a fascinating selection of features all about codes, secrets and ciphers.

Plus insights galore from Hannah鈥檚 two experts who鈥檝e got numbers and words covered: Maths teacher Bobby Seagull - author of 鈥楾he Life-changing Magic of Numbers鈥� and Richard Rogan - editor of The Times Cryptic Crossword.
