Where can I watch the 2022 CHRISTMAS LECTURES?
You can watch them on BBC iPlayer here. In early 2022 we will also add them to our website so people outside the UK can watch them.
What age range are the CHRISTMAS LECTURES suitable for?
The subject matter of this year’s CHRISTMAS LECTURES series is forensic science. Professor Black will draw on case studies from her long experience investigating crime and working in war zones and areas impacted by natural disasters. While such subjects can be challenging, they will be addressed in a sensitive and appropriate manner for a young audience of 11-17 year olds.
However, all audience members and their parents should consider whether such content is appropriate for their own individual circumstances.
