QY20 Persuaders
As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.
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.
Recently I have been watching THE PERSUADERS which are re-running on TV,but not managing to catch all episodes,I took to looking them up on Youtube,and tried to watch them in passing.
Today, I played back the episode 'Death in the Family' on Iphone whilst browsing Ebay on laptop.
In this episode,all of Brett Sinclair's relatives feature,including Denolm Elliot as one.
On ebay I came across a QY20 sequencer which was being sold as spares/repair,I noted that the seller was Australian.
Just at the very moment I noted this,Denholm Elliot said "It all started when I went to Australia" - made all the more odd by the fact that I was not running the show concurrently,but was stopping and starting playback to enable paying attention.
