Q.E.D. was the name of a strand of BBC popular science documentary films which aired in the United Kingdom from 1982 to 1999.[1] Running in a half hour peak-time slot on the BBC's primary mass-audience channel BBC 1, the series had a more populist and general interest agenda than the long-running Horizon series which aired on the more specialist channel BBC 2.
