SAME STORE ROOM

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.

When I worked for the BBC it had a large collection of firearms used in drama productions, and retained a small team of retired police officers to deal with security, safety, licensing etc. These were in an armoury with a huge steel door in the basement of the TV studio scenery block. Later these were "outsource" to an agency and we took the, now empty, room to use for storing our IT Network spare parts. I later found that a retired police officer who had worked in that team went to the same Cambridge College as myself, like me a mature student, and I see him at alumni meals from time to time.
