This was a totally remarkable series of programmes.
Not only did these programmes go into detail about certain gadgets which we have all come to take for granted, but they also go into a fair bit of detail as to how they work.
Quite impressive really considering each show was only just over half an hour long. There is so much detail packed into each one, it would have to be seen to be believed.
Even when I was at secondary school in the late nineties, my school had a copy of the videos. Tim Hunkin said that he is quite amazed that people are still looking for these shows even though they are over 15 years old. Anyone who has seen them will be amazed by the detail they all provide and nothing has beaten them since. That is why they were so hot then and why they are so hot now.
Tim Hunkin even encourages people to download the programmes free from p2p networks. This just shows that he is a true man of science. He does this sort of thing for the love of it and not for financial gain.
If you have not seen any of these shows then do have a look for them. You'll be so glad you did.
