Why Maths Doesn’t Add Up

Alternative title: Alan and Marcus Go Forth and Multiply
Synopsis: Ever since he was at school, actor and comedian Alan Davies has hated maths. And like many people, he is not much good at it either. But with the help of Oxford’s Professor Marcus du Sautoy, Alan is going to embark on a maths odyssey. Together they visit the fourth dimension, cross the universe and explore the concept of infinity. But did his abilities peak 25 years ago when he got his grade C O-Level? Or will Alan be able to master the most complex maths concept there is?
