Bang Goes The Theory ... cosmology, zoology, medicine or any other field. And then they'll be back at base - a disused supersonic wind tunnel, turned high-tech science set by the people behind Dr Who - to show science in action.

Newest Review: ... somewhat dangerous experiments of which they are not completely certain of the outcome. Most of the time it is genuinely interesting with a lot of ideas, facts and information I had never heard of, which, as a science student, came as a bit of a surprise. My personal two favourite moments in the series so far have been when one of the presenters used vacuum cleaners to scale a building and ... more

... when they attached video cameras to a large helium balloon, let if drift into the sky and saw the horizon of the Earth, both of these had my eyes glued to the TV. Ignoring a few duds, the stories are interesting and in most cases, I at least, have not ...more

Bang goes the theory is a new series that began in late July; it's essentially a hands-on science show. It does this quite well, the presenters are enthusiastic, all the science is well explained and the viewer can expect to learn a variety of interesting facts.

The presenters are all very hands on and do everything including a few somewhat dangerous experiments of which they are not completely certain of the outcome. Most of the time it is genuinely ...

It gives a hands on process involving all types of ideas and concepts which might puzzle or confuse you. They go about this by taking part in different experiments and demonstrations ranging from smallish trials like melting glass in microwaves to climbing up high buildings with ...

The BBC 1 show Bang goes the Theory, aired on Monday nights at 19:30, promises to "put scientific theory to the test" and examine "how science shapes the world around us", spread over 10 half hour episodes. The best thing about this programme is that the presenters actually get involved in science, and dream up weird and wonderful experiments and demonstrations to show science in action. So far these have included amongst other things building a vortex canon to blow over a brick house (like the big bad wolf and three pigs) using nothing but a blast of air, cooking an egg in a paper pan, creating a water powered jet pack, making ...
