A new three-part series called Two’s a Crowd has started on BBC Radio 4, tackling the the biology of personal identity.
It got a few trailers on air, but has otherwise slipped surruptitiously onto the schedule with not so much as a supporting web page. Luckily, the programme is available as a realaudio archive for a week after each show has been aired (Tuesdays, 11am GMT).
A particular focus is the possible biological bases of personality, particularly with reference to the so-called ‘big five‘ personality traits, that have come to dominate personality research.
BBC, if you’re listening, any chance of some supporting information on the web ? It seems too good a series to be lost among the schedule.
