The first series listed - Marcus du Sautoy's A Brief history of Mathematics - if just fantastic. I highly recommend everyone to get all the episodes from the podcast on iTunes. Already knowing some of the history of the mathematicians was not a downer at all; du Sautoy's great way of narrating with the BBC-quality production really makes this a fabulous and interesting series to listen to. As JonnieCache said, Radio 4 is an just such an amazing treasure to be able to experience.
