Bang Goes the Theory
It is, says presenter Dallas Campbell, a show for "anyone who is remotely curious about life, the Universe and pretty much everything." What Bang Goes The Theory aims to do is look at how science shapes the world around us, in an engaging and relevant way. It's about making science fascinating--and fun. And the way the team will achieve that, says editor Dermot Caulfield, is by rolling up their sleeves, sticking their hands in the dirt, and finding out "why, what or where science is happening". The show's presenters will travel the world looking at the scientific breakthroughs that affect us, whether they're in 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.
