Tech Weekly: Sir Tim Berners Lee on free data and the BBC’s Virtual Revolution
The latest episode of Tech Weekly welcomes Sir Tim Berners-Lee, who helped launch the government’s new open data project, data.gov.uk. Charles Arthur, Bobbie Johnson and Aleks Krotoski discuss the implications and the future of this important and exciting new initiative.

Charles digs deeper into the making of the show, asking the series’ multiplatform producer Dan Gluckman why the BBC was so keen to make the development of the four films open and collaborative.
