One of the things about this Time of the Moth is the that I get an urge I never get the rest of the time: to sit and watch kids' telly. Preferably with a big bucket of ice cream and a duvet. And I am watching Richard Hammond's Blast Lab.
In one sense, it's like your traditional kids' TV game show. It has screaming kids in the audience, and the ubiquitous gunk tank. But the quiz element of it is based around the cool things you can do with science, and experiments. It also has Oliver, the Opel Kadett, and Hammond's Ninja Nan and Mini (female) science teacher.
The thing that I really like, though, is Hammond's little asides to camera while the kids are doing the science tasks, giving little titbits of facts or comments on their performance. Oh yes, and the kids who "lose" get to explode all their prizes.
Of course, the best thing about it is that it's very silly indeed. I approve.
