understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.

Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.

I never listen to radio 2 only Radio 4. One day about 10 years ago Between 10 & 11 a.m. I tuned in to 2 by mistake. SimonBates was reading out readers tales of apology. It was about lads in Dagenham who overturned a Robin Reliant in a banjo ( A sort of Close) . The owner of the Car on finding it then knocked on their door & asked them would they mind helping him turn it over & he would buy them a drink--- even though he never went to the pub & had no idea they were the culprits. This was my Dad-- I remember him telling me about it . We lived in a banjo in Hunters Hall rd Dagenham, I was asounded to hear this -- the boys were really sorry But my Dad by that time was dead. I have never got over this incredible coincidence & was so sorry my Dad wasnt there to hear it. Never listened to Radio " since.
