LOOK AROUND YOU. Look around you. Just look around you. What do you see? A tree. A weather-vane. A discarded lollipop-wrapper. A traffic shop. All of these things, and any other things you may care to mention, have one thing in common. Can you work out what it is?

01Maths can help us in our daily lives - for example, in cooking pasta, in calculating the correct moment for starting a conversation, or (if you can fly) in working out where to land. Queen Elizabeth III and Queen Elizabeth IV are going to a party given by Queen Elizabeth V. QE3 has forty dresses to choose from, QE4 has four thousand, and QE5 has only one dress, but it can take the form of many dresses. Then, during the night, QE3's servant steals the plans for QE4's party dress and, working till dawn, makes four thousand exact copies... So can we reckon what the chance is that all of the Queens will be wearing the same dress at the party?
02In this episode we learn about the amazing igloo-building skills of ants and the surprising ability of water to boil eggs.

04Why can't ghosts whistle? Well, let's hear from a ghost.
05Sulphur is revealed, and the story is not really about brimstone.
06A brief investigation of the world of music, from its Neolithic beginnings...
07Iron (Fe) is not quite all it's cut up to be... The use of magnets is strictly prohibited during this episode.
