DescriptionRough Science - Series 1 (2000) [VHS (XviD, DivX) http://www.open2.net/roughscience1/index.html [hr] Epidode Guides 1. 1- 1 26 May 00 Mediterranean Mystery (XviD) Swapping their hi-tech labs for a disused prison, five scientists are ferried to a mystery Mediterranean island where they have to pool their collective wits to complete a series of science-based challenges. There are exploding bottles, failed experiments and the occasional difference of opinion - at the same time as some genuine ?Eureka? moments. This week - can they work out their exact latitude and longitude, manufacture an insect repellent from scratch, and improvise a radio from an old saucepan? Presented by Kate Humble. 2. 1- 2 2 Jun 00 Simmering Shutterbugs (XviD) The Rough Scientists tackle a series of science-based challenges, using just the natural resources of the island. This week - can they improvise a low-tech camera and film, make a compass, and dye a flag? Seawater, seaweed and urine prove to be indispensable ingredients, but tempers begin to fray as things don?t quite go to plan. Presented by Kate Humble. 3. 1- 3 9 Jun 00 Power Supplies (DivX) This week Jonathan Hare and Mike Leahy go head to head in a race to generate power, while Mike Bullivant and Anna Lewington set about building a pharmacy. They extract and dispense a string of natural remedies including an antiseptic made from myrtle and olives, and an anti-flatulent from fennel seeds (to combat one of Mike Leahy?s less appealing habits!) Presented by Kate Humble. 4. 1- 4 16 Jun 00 Sustenance and Sayonara (DivX) For the last programme of the series, the Rough Scientists face the ultimate challenge - can they use their science skills to put food on the table? Mike Bullivant has an epic struggle to make soap, while Vanessa Griffiths improvises toothpaste from seaweed, seashells and mint. Presented by Kate Humble. [hr] Description This series was set on a Mediterranean island and featured four episodes, and hence tasks. Discover the longitude and latitude of the island, create a radio from a saucepan and create an insect repellent. Create a camera with film, create a compass and dye a flag. The group are taken to a disused prison on the island where they have to generate power and build a pharmacy (creating antiseptic using olives and myrtle and anti-flatulent with fennel seeds). The final episode involves the creation of soap and toothpaste though the general task is to put food on the table. The scientists featured were: Vanessa Griffiths - a marine biologist who teaches ecology for The Field Studies Council at Orielton Field Centre in Pembrokeshire Anna Lewington - an ethnobotanist and an economic botanist, researching how people, and groups of people, use plants and how this is important to the societies in which they live Jonathan Hare - chemist, physicist, inventor and teacher Mike Leahy - virologist Mike Bullivant - organic photochemist Related Torrents
