The BBC has, for a few years now, neglected science. Tomorrow’s World was taken off the air as it was an aging programme that couldn’t keep up with the tastes of kids too distracted by the careful scientific experimentation found in Brainiac. And by “careful” I mean “blowing up microwaves, destroying caravans, and asking an ex-Big Brother contestant a question and expecting a strange method of demonstrating it”.
Hot on the heels (by a few years) of the transformation of Top Gear from pokey motoring magazine show to all-out entertainment with a bit of car knowledge chucked in, Tomorrow’s World has become Bang Goes the Theory. The great minds fronting it go off and do the scientific magazine sections of talking to head boffins whilst someone whom looks like Moss from the IT Crowd bothers the public with small scale science, and another guy tries to avoid killing himself doing really big science.
Yes, it’s big explosiveness and mild peril with stealthy educational science thrown in for good measure…
Thank you BBC…
