This is one of my favourite bits of Christmas television programming.

Does anyone else watch them?

Not for a few years as I'm usually working when they're on. Always used to enjoy them though, even though I hated science at school.

"What are they

The Royal Institution does a series of accessible, science based lectures each year broadcast by the BBC.

Last year was about cells and how they regenerate and die.

I think they make more of an effort because it is aimed at young people. Plus it's at just about the right level for me to understand what they are saying.

Well worth a watch. If it doesn't grab you then you just turn it off.

The audience is mainly schoolchildren so the lectures start from basics that everyone can understand. They are brilliant, I understand they are a legacy of Michael Faraday? Lickety will know I'm sure.

I'm V+ing them all. And I have tried playing piano with my boobs, feet and arse. Boobs and arse are better for freeform jazz note cluster type playing, feet are good for simple melodies but not chords.

Love these - used to always forget to set the video (how very 90's!), and then later forget to set the Sky box... now we can just iPlayer them straight from the TV. Isn't technology brilliant!
