Apparently because of a comment I made on TIPS about sensory
deprivation, a BBC researcher tracked me down last year through
the Internet. I provided her with a smidgeon (that's a word,
isn't it?) of information about the topic, for which I was
uniquely qualified, having once been taught by Woody Heron
himself (see Heron, W. (1957). The pathology of boredom.
Scientific American, 196, 52-56.)
Anyway, she's just written to advise me that the programme will
air on A & E in the U.S. on August 2, and in the UK (longer and
better, she says) on the 17th of August. This programme and the
entire series may be of interest to TIPSters.
