Episode description
Hannah Fry explores two more tales of data and discovery.
Gossip and rumour are plaguing a tile manufacturing company. The chatter is pulling morale to new lows, and amid it all, a question hangs in the air: who is spreading it? Can the science of networks find out?
And, what is the secret to ageing well? One man believes he may have found the beginnings of an answer, and it is hiding in a convent.
Produced by: Ilan Goodman and Lauren Armstrong Carter
