Simon Singh did a couple of series of short programmes about numbers on the BBC in March 2002 and October 2003. You can listen to his discussion of Infinity; there are links there to the other broadcasts as well as to other Science programmes. Worth listening to.
Some(6,7,8,9??) years ago there was a BBC radio series on the history of mathematics which was had me rolling about as it was so (intentionally) funny. Anyone remember it or know if it is available anywhere?

I remember a long time ago (early 90’s), there was a program on BBC Radio 4 (or 5?) called Maths Miscellany. Might this be it? All I can remember from it was this long imaginary dialogue between Euclid and someone.
