Just watched it, might be on catchy up but don't know. Was first shown in 2018.

In short it's about gaming theory but put into very real word situations. A bit like a certain Dom we all know... don't worry though, the programme is Brexit free.👍

I certainly had a few, "oh wow!" moments.

The Golden Balls gameshow clip and the "forgiving, fit for tat" learning programme come to mind.

If you haven't seen it, highly recommended.

(Turns out there are very sound mathematical and evolutionary reasons to be decent to each other on the whole. Quite an uplifting programme actually.)

Caught the some of the last few minutes, looked very interesting. I'll probably watch it on catch up at weekend because I missed the explanation from the second goldenballs contestant - the guy who said he was going to steal.

Indeed, lots of lightbulb moments for me too. I can see me trying some of them at work or at home with a rebellious toddler. Dr. Hannah Fry does a great job at these programmes. Highly recommend her Royal Institution Christmas lectures too.
