S1E16
If I Get this Wrong, 50,000 People Will Hear It.
Summary
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.
S1E15
I Launched the Mighty Trebuchet
Summary
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.
S1E14
I Got Hit in the Teeth With 900-Year-Old Antlers
Summary
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.

We Can’t Invent a Robot Better Than These Ferrets
Summary
In Derbyshire, at the National Ferret School, I say "hello" to some smelly thieves, and go on a surprisingly Biblical tangent.
S1E12
Can a 70-Year-Old Telescope Still Be Useful?
Summary
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.
S1E11
Pulling the Lever Is the Easy Part
Summary
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.
S1E10
This Man Stops People Drowning in Quicksand
Summary
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.
S1E9
The Mist That Keeps the Tyne Tunnels Safe
Summary
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.

Oh No, I Sympathized With a Victorian Arms Dealer
Summary
In Northumberland, at the National Trust's Cragside mansion, I visit the former home of the Magician of the North.

If You Found Candy With My Name in It, Here’s Why
Summary
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.
S1E6
I Finally Got to Drive Yorkshire’s Tiny Boats
Summary
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.
S1E5
These Mannequins Can Bleed
Summary
At Sheffield Hallam University in Yorkshire, I meet the Clinical Simulation team and deal with some animated patients. (Note: includes simulated blood and gore.)
S1E4
These People Walk Towards Mining Disasters
Summary
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.

I Missed the Evidence. Can You Spot It?
Summary
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.
S1E2
They Can Fly 200 Miles With No Fuel. Here’s How.
Summary
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.
S1E1
I Helped Break a 142-Year-Old Bell, and That’s Okay
Summary
In Leicestershire, at the John Taylor Bell Foundry, there's fire, sledgehammer swinging, and metal hotter than a volcano. Also, several questions about cheese.
