Summary

Content-rich, current and authoritative, yet full of high energy, irreverence and humour, this is the series that explains the world we live in, and what’s going to change it.

Bang Goes the Theory is lightly formatted with three or four items each episode: family-relevant stories, spectacular stunts, future-facing items, competitive team challenges and street science – with the relationship between the gang of presenters a key element.

There’s warm, assured Liz with a biochemistry degree and masters in zoology; inventor and hands-on constructor and engineer Jem, with an amazing ability to explain scientific principles for a lay audience; drama graduate Dallas who has a passion for popularising science; and finally Yan – Richard Dawkins’ former researcher with a PhD in evolutionary biology, and a fan of extreme sports and adventure. The studio HQ and test site is where the team assemble with the kit and gadgets they’re experimenting with that week, and meet to share banter and their results.

Nothing is off limits as the gang answer today’s trickiest questions and make science inspiring, engaging and fun.
