Great - just the sort of thing to get kids interested in science. Good luck Jon

I recorded it but I haven't watched it yet.

It's repeated tomorrow at 8:00 pm on Sky One Mix, if you get that channel.

I was really disappointed with this show.

First of all, it seems to be aimed mostly at men - e.g. "The Lazy Man's guide to...." slot. Secondly the scientific "experiments" are like something out of FHM - blowing up a kebab, staring at topless women etc. Thirdly, there doesn't seem to be much science in it at all - no one explained WHY things happened like they did.

I switched off by the end of the first lot of adverts. By then Jon's slot about poppy seeds and bagels had been on so I figured I wasn't going to miss much.

Reminds me of Jackass in terms of the mentality of the programme.
