This documentary is great! Comedian Alan Davies embarks on a maths odyssey with the help of mathematician Marcus du Sautoy. As Prof du Sautoy says, sums and equations are like the grammar of maths, so let's forget about that and take a look at the high drama, the Shakespeare of maths...
The link above is to part 1 of 6, so the whole thing is an hour-long doco, but well worth the watch. I recommend double clicking the link and watching it directly at YouTube, rather than as a little embedded picture - and for part 2 etc, have a look for "Horizon: Alan and Marcus Go Forth and Multiply - 2/6".
