About livestreaming
This December, we will be live streaming the filming of the CHRISTMAS LECTURES at scale throughout the UK for the very first time.
Following a successful pilot in a handful of venues last year, the 2019 Lectures will be shown at locations ranging from Thurso in Scotland, to Huddersfield in northern England, to Swansea in Wales.
In the 2019 CHRISTMAS LECTURES, ‘Secrets and Lies: the hidden power of maths’, Hannah Fry will reveal a hidden layer of maths that now drives everyday life in powerful and surprising ways. Life’s most astonishing miracles can be understood with probability, big data dictates many of the trends we follow, and powerful algorithms secretly influence even our most important life choices.
Filming of the 2019 Lectures will be live streamed from the Royal Institution’s iconic theatre on 12, 14 and 17 December, and broadcast on BBC Four at 8pm on 26, 27 and 28 December.
All venues can also be found on the map below. The pins are colour coded to show which lecture the venue will be casting:
