Episode Fifty-Seven - 20th June 1985 - The Hanndenburg

Send us a text There's only two times in history when people were obsessed with airships - 1937, when that Zeppelin exploded in a ball of flame, and 1985 when Roger Moore dangled off one in San Francisco. Tomorrow's World was only there to record the latter of these incidents. But what a truly incredible job they do here. Milton Keynes has never looked more exciting. We've got: - Judith Hann trying to make herself heard over the sound of airship engines - Maggie Philbin dressed as Ronald McD...

Episode Fifty-Six - 20th January 1993 - Super Mario Nation

Send us a text Mark's been on another one of his holidays. This time to Japan. So it seems the ideal time to cast our eye over an episode of Tomorrow's World that is all about the technological metropolis of Tokyo. Howard Stableford and Kate Bellingham are our lucky hosts, getting to try out all sorts of stuff that in 1993 would have looked like it was impossibly futuristic, including: - Train tunnel cartoons - The NEC Supertower - A robotic Peeping Tom - Sleeping with the fishes - Artificia...

Send us a text They say laughter is the best medicine. But who are "they" and are they right? Thank goodness Kieran Prendiville is here to help us find out. A very special episode of Tomorrow's World from 1982 with some very special guests and some very poor jokes. You're guaranteed a rib-tickling time, particularly if you happen to be a chimp.

Episode Fifty-Four - 28th March 1972 - Burke Dough Guard

Send us a text Despite only just digesting episode 53, Russ and Mark are back with a practically snack-sized morsel from 1972. This episode of Tomorrow's World may be unusually short, but it punches well above its weight in terms of quality content. Making a very welcome return is James Burke, with an all-timer of a segment explaining how anyone can commit the heist of the century using only a cigarette machine and a stationery cupboard. Raymond Baxter is holding fort back at the stud...

Send us a text This time round Russ and Mark decide to heed the advice of Jarvis Cocker and meet up in the year 2000 for the first proper Tomorrow's World episode broadcast in the new millennium. Is it strange now we're all fully grown? Well, not strange exactly. More bang average to be honest. But as always, there's fun to had taking it all apart. Philippa Forrester and Peter Snow present from the most gantry-infested set of them all, while also reporting from Japan and Seattle where they t...

Send us a text Russ and Mark have finally finished tidying up after the big 50th party and now it's back to work doing some serious auditing. This episode is in response to a listener enquiring as to the wherabouts of William Woollard. So here he is, joined by fellow TW GOATs Raymond Baxter, Judith Hann and Michael Rodd. Bit of an engineering focus this time round, as we take a look at: - A thrilling new way to apply liquid gaskets - Funky anti-lock brakes for motorbikes - The scourge o...

Send us a text The big five-O. The half century. The golden jubilee. That's 50 editions of your favourite auditing podcast in the bag. That's a whopping 3.5% of all episodes of Tomorrow's World ever made that we've managed to cover (and 17% of all episodes of h&p@bbc. for less understandable reasons) To celebrate such an auspicious occasion, Russ & Mark travel back 60 years to take a look at what the BBC claims is the first ever episode of TW (and we suspect is actually the second ep...

Grab your bucket of popcorn and overpriced fizzy pop, sit back in your sticky seat and relax while Philippa Forrester and Craig Doyle bring us the following from the heart of Tinseltown: - Motion capture featuring Trevor the rabbit - Some film trailers - The marvellous make-up...

Send us a text Russ & Mark look back to January 1985, when Ronald Reagan had his second presidential inauguration - an event with many similarities to Trump's recent one. This episode of Tomorrow's World from just a few days before strives to keep us warm and cosy on a chilly winter night with the following segments: Maggie Philbin tests out a new electric blanket, plus electric carpets and a mysterious Norwegian bicycle wheel. Peter Macann tries out a new method for inserting pins into t...

Send us a text Russ & Mark finally tackle the big beast that they have previously avoided - the classic Tomorrow's World Christmas Quiz. Hosted, as ever, by Howard Stableford, it's a lovely lump of festive fun. Obviously there's the usual crew of Judith Hann, Peter Macann and Maggie Philbin, but because it's Christmas we've also got Moira Stuart, Keith Chegwin, George Takei and the unassailable Rod Hull and Emu. Festive gold! Support the show If you press on that link above here tha...

Send us a text We all need cheering up sometimes don't we? And what better way to do that than for your auditors to dig out a brand new tune from the burgeoning Michael Rodd songbook? Sadly, it seems no good deed goes unpunished as the rest of this episode is an absolute dog's breakfast. Feel free to switch off after the opening song - but if you don't, here's what else you can expect: - A man with a dicky ticker putting his hand in a bucket of water - Michael Rodd shuffling in front of, sit...

Send us a text We all remember the famous Ronald Reagan speech where he implored "Mr. Hasselhoff, tear down this wall!" But what wall was he talking about? The Berlin Wall of course! And it turns out that Big Ronnie's wishes were granted 35 years ago this very day (if you're listening on day of release). In order to celebrate this classic toppling event, your auditors travel even further back in time to an era when that big pile of rubble was still very much wall-shaped for a very speci...

Episode Forty-Four - 25th September 1991 - Diamonds Aren't Forever

Send us a text As far as TV sitcoms go, no single episode of anything has made Russ laugh more than series 1, episode 2 of Bottom - the one where the gas man turns up. So to commemorate this perfect half hour of television, your auditors take a look at the episode of Tomorrow's World broadcast just two days prior. It's the first in a new series and marks the very start of the 90s "drum theme" era - which means we see Carmen Pryce's debut segment (in a small European town, natch) and short-liv...

Send us a text For only the second time ever, your auditors take a special look at an episode handpicked by one of their very favourite people - an actual paying subscriber. Steve wrote to us claiming that he remembered Howard's first ever appearance on Tomorrow's World with a level of clarity and detail that seems humanly impossible for a live programme last seen 39 years ago. So despite this, did he somehow defy the mists of time and remember it right? Listen on and find out... Suppor...

Yes, the Olympics are on at the moment - and rather than listening to the pointless TV commentary, why not stick on our very special Olympic-themed episode of the podcast for a veritable biathlon of entertainment?

Hosting in the studio, Peter Snow has forgotten his swingometer - but luckily Philippa Forrester is also there to set off our schwingometers, as she visits Wales to see a new way of rescuing people with a firehose (you won't believe who she bumps into...)

Howard Stableford and Carmen Pryce give us a comprehensive overview of various aspects of this engineering marvel - including segments on the Eurostar, Le Shuttle, sea levels, ferries, seasickness, and the threat of French rabies. There's also a very special bonus extra bit at the en...

Send us a text Let us travel back almost exactly 45 years to a time when "Boomer" was a cool name and "Starbuck" had nothing to do with coffee. Battlestar Galactica has just been released in UK cinemas, so surely the team at Tomorrow's World will pull out all the stops to make sure their small screen science fact is as exciting as the big screen science fiction? Hmmm. Well, maybe not. There's a certain sense that things aren't firing on all cylinders this episode, with segments on a rob...
