NEW The unlikely presenting duo of petrolhead Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond and Big Brother geek Jon Tickle ( making his presenting debut, left) front this new fast paced fooling about with science show that blows a raspberry to the stiff upper lip tomorrows world style of Tv experiments and generally blows things up for laughs from giant stunts like filling a reservoir with jelly and riding a bike across it to quarky smaller scale experiments like freezing a banana with liquid nitrogen and seeing if it can be used as a hammer, its the way science classes should of been at school. Its not about having a lab says Jon its all about getting out there and doing your own experiments to find something out about the world. Theres also the tantalising promise of a celebrity experiment each week too. Mr Tickle will surely be in his element.

Sorry no scanner so i cant do a pic

Thanks Rachel.
Filling a reservoir with jelly - blimey
Sounds interesting for anyone though and great for kids.

Thanks rachel.

Set your videos. everybody.

Hee hee sounds cool *goes into thick female mode and wonders how video works*

Here you go.

Can't wait - it sounds like good fun....

(P.S the article pic is just an old one of Jon attending some sort of red carpet do)

No need to say anymore!

Cheers piranhaville I shall never have to wonder again with you about

I can't get Sky!!

God, poor you! I'd tape it for you if I could but my video is bust. Perhaps some kind fm will volunteer.

I don't mind saving them to Tivo, then transferring them to tape for you Maisymoo. The only thing is there is no point in sending them to you until the series finishes, but I don't mind doing that for you.

I don't mind taping for you either maisy, if you really do live in the fens (oo'er) you are probably not far from me.
Perhaps both susann and I could do it in case one of us forgets.

Aw you lot are so kind!!
Actually, my son has NTL piped in! Now I think about it he will be getting SKY on that won't he? Is it SKY 1?
Much obliged to all!

Yes, the dreaded FENS Grim hah harrr!

Ah well let us know if for any reason your son can't tape it for you maisy, I would hate for you to miss it.

btw, I live in sunny cambridgeshire so not far from 'the fens'

Ta Grim, will do!
Oh, above you, Lincs!! (waves!)

[size=1]Sky Magazine - November Issue[/size]
Jon's tickled pink

Has anyone here acess to the customer zone on sky.com?

I think anyone can access this zone tamara, I'm with NTL not sky but I still managed to get in. It dosen't seem like you need an account number or anything like that.

The search function doesn't locate anything for either Braniac or Jon Tickle.

I'm a Sky customer Tamara - give me a shout if there's anything you need me to look up for you

I can't find anything on Brainiac or Jon either, maybe it just hasn't been updated yet. The good thing is it looks like Brainiac is taking over the time slot of that awful programme little monsters.

I'm just thinking - doesn't the magazine come out in advance of the shows it's discussing? They'll probably update the website with a Brainiac feature closer to the launch date.

Yeah that's probably it, lets hope they update the website soon.

This is all I could find from their press releases page dated today.

Thanks piranhaville... That press release is already posted at Jon's site..

I am aware from next week, there will be articles about Brainiac and promotional appearances on TV (I think RI:SE is one of them). If anyone comes across with articles in magazines and newspapers... can everybody help out posting them?
