The present invention provides a timeline display apparatus having a processor (240), a memory (250), a graphics engine (230) and a display (120). The apparatus is arranged to display a timeline (1) divided into interval representations corresponding to temporal intervals (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13). The display area accorded to each interval representation (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 13) is dependent upon the proximity of the interval representation (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13) to a given point in time (14). The apparatus of the present invention thus addresses difficulties relating to the display of information encountered by prior art apparatus and allows a more detailed view to be made of particular points on a timeline which are of interest.
