Lovely moment on Radio 4's #TheLifeScientific discussing synaesthesia, where #JimAlKhalili admitted he might only see the number 2 as yellow, and number 3 as green, because they were the colours of the Thunderbirds rockets.

Odd fact time:
I have chatted with Jim Al-Khalili on two occasions while we were both standing next to each other at urinals; once in a pub, and once in an aquarium.
