Jimmy's Food Factory

Farmer Jimmy Doherty sets up his own food factory in a barn. Using farmyard and household junk, he makes breakfast with a bang when he uses a specially built cannon to create puffed rice cereal.

At a yogurt factory, there's an invisible, unpaid workforce of billions to help Jimmy make his own strawberry yogurt.

And tea is Jimmy's favourite drink - he has fifteen cups a day! So he's in heaven when he visits a tea factory to find out how the chief tea taster makes sure every cuppa tastes as good as the last.

How Earth Made Us

Professor Iain Stewart sets sail on one of the fastest racing boats ever built to explore the story of our turbulent relationship with the wind.

The wind is a force which at first sight appears chaotic. But the patterns that lie within the atmosphere have shaped the destiny of continents, and lie at the heart of some of the greatest turning points in human history.
