Local Heroes - Season 3 Episode 5 South
Adam Hart-Davis continues his search for unsung heroes of science when he cycles around the south of England. On a stop-off in Surrey, he uses a tin of tuna to explain the physics behind Neville Barnes-Wallis's invention of the bouncing bomb. Other subjects include Charles Darwin, whose theory of evolution is explored in a series of programmes beginning on Friday, and Thomas Young, who discovered how the eyes focus.
