Anybody else see it last night......

My word some of the marco video stuff was amazing hippy

And the lightening that had never been seen before kind blew me away alittle.

Looking forward to the next show, although what is going on with the hamsters hair???

For those that didnt see it, its worth a watch on your lunch break.

Richard Hammond explores the extraordinary wonders of the world of detail hidden in the blink of an eye.

The human eye takes about fifty milliseconds to blink. But it takes our brain around a hundred and fifty milliseconds to process what we see. We're not aware of this time lag going on, but in those few milliseconds, there are extraordinary things happening that completely pass us by.

But what if we could break through this speed limit? Bend and stretch time in ways never thought possible. What new marvels would we see?

Now, using the latest high-speed cameras, Richard takes us on a journey beyond our eye's limits, letting us see secrets hidden in every element of our planet.

A world where thin air can shatter rock.

And water can tear through metal.

A world where the fastest thing on earth lies right beneath our feet.

And where a spectacular celestial display is finally captured, even though many have claimed it doesn't even exist.

I watched it, though the first 30 minutes was great but then got a little bored. I think Time Warp has spoiled me and the girlfriend, that's a great high speed show!

I think the programme could be improved by about 10000000% by having someone other than Hammond presnent it (like so many others)
