  • Trying to Fail a Drug Test on Purpose
    F1
    Trying to Fail a Drug Test on PurposeThere's an urban legend that poppy seeds can make you fail a drug test. Is it true? And if so: why? I ate a few bagels, and set out to flunk an opioid test.
  • Hill Hill Hill Hill, debunked, debunked
    F2
    Hill Hill Hill Hill, debunked, debunkedTorpenhow Hill, in the Lake District in the north-west of England, is the only place in the world whose name has the same word four different times. That's the story, anyway. The truth is a bit more complex.
  • Why 18th-Century Firefighters Let Some Buildings Burn
    F3
    Why 18th-Century Firefighters Let Some Buildings BurnWe take it for granted in the UK that if a fire breaks out, you can call firefighters, and they will try to put it out and save lives. In the 18th century, that wasn't guaranteed. If your building didn't have a fire mark, they might just let it burn. The reason: fire insurance, and fire insurance companies.
  • Why Real Explosions Don't Look Like Movie Explosions

    F7
    The world's last turntable ferry has a really clever designIn Glenelg, on the west coast of Scotland, there's the Skye Ferry: the last turntable ferry in the world. And the reason for that turntable is a lot more clever than I initially thought.
  • History forgot these old fireworks. We recreated them
    F8
    History forgot these old fireworks. We recreated themAround the old mining areas of North Wales, you can find rock cannon: old Welsh firework sites. Most of the world has never heard of them, so we recreated them on a test range.
  • The Shocking New Use for Red Telephone Boxes
    F9
    The Shocking New Use for Red Telephone BoxesWhat do you do with a disused phone box? And can they help save lives?
  • The Islands With Too Much Power
    F10
    The Islands With Too Much Powerhe Orkney Islands, off the northern tip of Scotland, have so much electricity that it's actually a problem. Here's why: and here's what they're doing about it. • This video has a correction: Hornsdale Power Reserve didn't catch fire! It was the newer Victorian Big Battery, near Geelong. Complete blunder on my part, apologies to the Hornsdale team. See all corrections on this channel: https://www.tomscott.com/corrections/
