Episodes:
-
Ep. 1: I Helped Break a 142-Year-Old Bell, and That’s Okay
In Leicestershire, at the John Taylor Bell Foundry, there's fire, sledgehammer swinging, and metal hotter than a volcano. Also, several questions about cheese.
-
Ep. 2: They Can Fly 200 Miles With No Fuel. Here’s How.
In Rutland, I try to fit an entire county in one camera shot, learn to spot chimneys in the sky, and make a very strange noise. Let's learn about paragliding.
-
Ep. 3: I Missed the Evidence. Can You Spot It?
At the University of Lincoln's Crime Scene House, where they teach forensic science students in simulated crime scenes, I have a challenge for you.
-
Ep. 4: These People Walk Towards Mining Disasters
In Nottinghamshire, I join the team at MRS Training and Rescue -- the former Mines Rescue Service -- for an exercise that could have been so much worse.
-
Ep. 5: These Mannequins Can Bleed
At Sheffield Hallam University in Yorkshire, I meet the Clinical Simulation team and deal with some animated patients. (Note: includes simulated blood and gore.)
-
Ep. 6: I Finally Got to Drive Yorkshire’s Tiny Boats
At Peasholm Park in Scarborough, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, I visit the Naval Warfare, ride with the world's smallest crewed navy, and scare at least two seagulls.
-
Ep. 7: If You Found Candy With My Name in It, Here’s Why
At the John Bull Rock Factory outside Bridlington, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, I watch as boiling sugar becomes an enormous amount of rock. Also, there's 1990s Dutch happy hardcore.
-
Ep. 8: Oh No, I Sympathized With a Victorian Arms Dealer
In Northumberland, at the National Trust's Cragside mansion, I visit the former home of the Magician of the North.
-
Ep. 9: The Mist That Keeps the Tyne Tunnels Safe
At the Tyne Road Tunnels, just over the border into Durham, I get very wet and cold underneath a river... but not in the way you might expect.
-
Ep. 10: This Man Stops People Drowning in Quicksand
In Westmorland, at Morecambe Bay, I meet the King's Guide to the Sands, walk across a very dangerous stretch of sand, and learn about a centuries-old tradition that's been brought into the 21st century.
-
Ep. 11: Pulling the Lever Is the Easy Part
In Lancashire, at National Rail's Manchester signalling classroom, I learn why it's very, very rare for trains to collide... and then go to an actual, live signal box to see it for real.
-
Ep. 12: Can a 70-Year-Old Telescope Still Be Useful?
At Jodrell Bank in Cheshire, I get to fulfill a childhood dream: but more importantly, I ask whether a telescope built in the 1950s can still do useful science.
-
Ep. 13: We Can’t Invent a Robot Better Than These Ferrets
In Derbyshire, at the National Ferret School, I say "hello" to some smelly thieves, and go on a surprisingly Biblical tangent.
-
Ep. 14: I Got Hit in the Teeth With 900-Year-Old Antlers
In the village of Abbots Bromley in Staffordshire, I join the oldest village tradition in Britain: the Horn Dance. It ends up being slightly more painful than I expected.
-
Ep. 15: I Launched the Mighty Trebuchet
At Warwick Castle, there's a 22-tonne medieval siege engine. I got to see how it works, meet the person in charge, and -- technically -- help fire it. Technically.
-
Ep. 16: If I Get this Wrong, 50,000 People Will Hear It.
At Worcester Cathedral, I finally take on a challenge that hundreds of people have suggested: bell ringing. It's difficult, a little dangerous, and also lets me talk about a lot of weird English words.
