Unfortunately only 5 minutes of this TV film includes
Florence Nightingale as in RadStats #102. It looks interesting
though.

Hello all,
I am sending this e-mail to:
1. All of those who know I was filmed in April for this BBC
documentary on The Joy of Stats, which will be shown tomorrow (Tuesday, 7
December) on BBC4 at 9pm. The four and a half hours of filming in
the Parliamentary Archvie, where I talked
about Victorian statisticians, but mainly Florence
Nightingale, was cut to about five minutes of Nightingale
2. Friends and colleagues who know about the work I
do
3. And to anyone, mainly other statisticians, who are
interested in statistics, as the bulk of the programme is a lighthearted
exploration of the world of statistics, narrated by the Swedish and UNESCO
statistician, Hans Rosling
For those of you who miss it tomorrow and want to see it, you
can access the BBC website , where it will be shown until 14 December.
Otherwise, there will be a website where it can be accessed, and
once the prodcuer needs to tell me the name of the webstie I can
let anyone know who is interested.
Here is a 4 minute excerpt from the
film which the producers put up on YouTube a few days ago as a
preview, which has already gone viral, and a quarter of a million
people have already downloaded it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbkSRLYSojo
