Welcome to the Of All The People In All The World Statistics Centre. Here you can read statistics that have already been submitted for inclusion in the show and you can make your own submissions.

Simply fill in the form below and send us your statistic. Remember in the show 1 Grain = 1 Person so your statistics must be measured in people. We'd also like to know why you have chosen this statistic and what your source is. We can only use statistics in the show if we are happy that they are true. Good Luck and Thank You.

Thank you for submitting your statistic. It will be checked and verified by the Statistics Centre before being posted online.

Number of people killed in Railway Accidents in Great Britain, 1893: 1011 (in 2003 it was 73)

Chosen: Whilst researching the tragic death of his great grandfather, an engine driver, Griff Rhys Jones stumbled across this stat from a time of unregulated industrial expansion. It's worth comparing to the more recent figure. (It later emerges that Griff's relative is killed after a drunken street brawl, but that there was a family cover-up)

People On The UK Sex Offenders Register: 30,000

Chosen: Because it is one of those very provocative statistics that throws up lots of questions and emotion. It is challenging to think where it would be used in the show.

Inmates at Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Centre, Phillipines, performing Michael Jacksons 'Thriller' Dance: 1500

Chosen: I'm known for the doom and gloom stats so this one's a tonic and a good filler in our prison stats or the moonwalk favourite. The first stat to come from You Tube? The evidence is there on tape...

Source: YouTube (setting a dangerous precedent).

Competitors in The World Beard and Moustache Championships, Brighton, 1 Sept 2007: 250

Chosen: I've always enjoyed the old Berlin statistic, I felt I needed to ensure we had this update. Particularly as 2 spectacularly bearded hillbilly farmers and a bloke dressed as W.G. Grace walked past our flat last night.
