TTN. I think you are talking about "More or Less". It's an interesting programme which illustrates that "popular" statistics e.g. those which are quoted in the media can easily be presented so as to appear to "prove" whatever the presenter wants to prove.

These so-called statistics are usually hedged about with underlying assumptions and caveats. Also we are not told what data were they based on, how it was collected, how it was processed and how significant the inferences are.
