A few weeks ago, Ben Goldacre wrote, "If you do not link to primary sources, you are dead to me."

Seems fair enough to me. So this blog post provides some of the evidence and some of the links to primary sources for my TV programme “23 Week Babies: The Price of Life”, broadcast on BBC2 at 9pm on March 9^th2011. A 2 minute trail is here.

My view is that there are better places than television for all the facts and figures that surround the kinds of programme I make. So this document is for the nerds and geeks and anyone else who’s interested in the numbers. And for anyone who wants to hold me accountable.

Feel free to email me, or add comments. I hoping that if there are errors they aren't too terrible.

Please do join in the debate about the programme:
