    BBC 4 Great Thinkers in Their Own Words

    kicks off 9 pm tonight with rare Freud interview

    Following on from the superb Great Writers: in Their Own Words, this new series delves deep into the archives to produce a potted history of late 20th-century thinkers. Unlike their forebears, latter-day intellectuals abandoned ivory towers and embraced new science programmes like Horizon to share their theories. Episode one begins with the boffins who revolutionised how we thought, beginning with a rare radio broadcast by Sigmund Freud recorded mere months before his death. The august line-up includes, among others, Carl Jung taking Freud to task.
    According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.

      I once wrote R D Laing a letter, seeking advice regarding an encounter group I was setting up. I never got a reply.

        ...er..ahem, i must confess that igot caught by another programme and missed it, i was very glad to do so because the other programme was one of the most enchanting and illuminating documentary poems i have ever seen ... see it no crap no bullshit ...a vivid account of life as a 'mother' to a litter of wild turkeys, utterly unsentimental but honest and moving, the answer to the Attenborough school of 'natural wonders' more like Thoreau really, the most remarkable piece of work ...
