Well, I think we've done it. We've finally hit the bottom of the barrel of nerdism 
So there are lots of good recommendations regarding maths books scattered around the forum but not so much pop-sci-type documentaries on maths. What have you enjoyed and do you recommend?
I suppose we'll allow physics related stuff here too but try to keep it 'maths' based rather than 'history of cosmos' based, please.

Watched Fermat's Last Theorem last night, actually, after making this thread. It was okay. More of a 'history of maths' rather than an easily accessible programme about maths. Do such things exist? They seem to for physics!

Anything that Marcus du Sautoy has done for the BBC is the kinda thing you're looking for I guess. I've enjoyed the shows he's done in the past though that School of Hard Sums he did with Dara O'briain was pretty hit and miss.
