Description
In a spoof of educational films from the 70s and 80s, two men conduct scientific experiments and do research to find answers to a variety of questions. Science has never been so silly.
Description
Calcium: In this pilot episode, we take a look, perhaps unsurprisingly, at the element Calcium, well-known for its presence in bones, kettles, and outer space. Without Calcium, we'd all be spineless, and indeed legless.
Description
Maths: Maths can help us to no end in our daily lives - for example, in cooking pasta, in calculating the correct moment for starting a conversation, or (if you can fly) in working out where to land.
Description
Water: In this episode we learn all about the amazing igloo-building skills of ants and the surprising ability of water to boil eggs. And if we were to put the two together...
Description
Germs: You need to know something about germs. You really do. And Professor Clifford Miles of our Germ Unit can help you. Over to you, professor.
Description
Ghosts: Why can't ghosts whistle? Well, let's hear from a ghost. Is there any particular reason why you can't manage it, and does it bother you?
Description
Sulphur: Sulphur is revealed, and the story is not really about brimstone. Or treacle. Len Pounds will weigh the evidence in the balance for us.
Description
Music: The gang gives us its brief investigation of the world of music, from some Neolithic beginnings. What did Stone-Age Man know about music? Or Partario, come to that?
Description
Iron: You know, Iron (Fe) is not quite all it's cut out to be. The use of magnets is strictly prohibited during this episode.
Description
The brain: The team investigates the human brain and meets a man who is addicted to EBE (electronic brain enhancements). What happens if you probe the probe? How many nuts are there in a jar? And what are brain flakes? All of these questions are addressed, if not answered.
