Brainiac: Science Abuse 2

Evening

I think brainiac is one of the most funny shows on the telly at the moment. I like the bits about the microwaves.

So, what do you think of the sky one show where Science is abused

New series every thursday at 8 pm.

I think season 3 lacks the luster of the previous 2. I miss Office Buoyancy, The Safe, The Black Box (Did they ever break it?), I Can Do Science Me, Puny vs. Beefy, heck, even 101 Uses For A Wee was informative. On the season 3 episode I watched, it went something like 1 main experiment and a few explosions. This is a good show, in spite of that. The experiments are well controlled and the side skits are fun too.

I live in the US, so I found it strange that their Best Bat experiment didnt include a baseball bat. Also a tooth will rot in cola in the US, and beer goggles dont work over here. I noticed that Brainiac proved the opposite of both. Is it possible that drinks in Britain use less sugar and more alcohol?

I love this programme, there always repeated on sky three... well i like it anyway

It was good when it started, but watching the repeats, it hasnt aged well.

Does anyone know if a 4th series is planned or has brainiac gone to tv show heaven?

In answer to my own question, i was reading the latest sky magazine today and it had an interview with richard in, but it said that series 4 starts in july.

So something to look out for
