CONCLUSIONS
The programme Right Hand, Left Hand is an interesting example of a very
modern approach to television broadcasting, with the use of celebrities in a
studio carrying out a range of tasks, and viewers sending in data by means of
postcards. Large-scale surveys of handedness are relatively rare in the middle
decades of the twentieth century, and Right Hand, Left Hand potentially
offers an unusual and useful source of data. Two subsequent papers will look
at the data in more detail.
