Richard Hammonds Invisible Worlds
Discussion
Apart from the fact he 'owes' most of us £20 the trailer for this looks very good.
On tonight at 21:00 BBC1.

New series: 1/3. Speed Limits: Using state of the art technology. RH goes beyond the limits of the naked eye and explores the secrets of the invisible world around us.
Very interesting show, and I was surprised I didn't want to throw the remote at the telly at any point like I do when Hammond is on TG.
I liked the bit about the bubbles damaging the propellor - can't remember the name of the effect though, starts with C?

My family must have been in ther minority here then.
I (and my parents) thought it was dumbed down, factually inaccurate and repetitive.
I get it, high speed cameras make slow motion footage. How about some comparisons then? How about how many frames a second is required to capture certain things. That way we can actually compare these incredibly fast things in some kind of quantitive manner. But no it's just a really, really fast camera that makes "cool" videos.
Were it not screened late I would have thought it as kids TV like bang goes the theory.

Errr... I distinctly recall him mentioning for virually all the films what rate they were filming at, e.g. 40x, or 100x or even 200x I believe.I (and my parents) thought it was dumbed down, factually inaccurate and repetitive.

You've only got to times these by roughly 25 to get the frame rates if that's the info you need.
I thought it an excellent program. A bit dumbed maybe but still some very interesting vidoes particularly for me the shock wave.

So the fantastic state of the art photography did nothing for you two then?
Can't speak for the other poster and I didn't see all the show.The photography was good, (fantastic as you say) though some shots have been seen already. It was Hammond I didn't like, reminded me of that science kids show Blast Lab. I would have continued to watch it if the presenter was somone else e.g. Brian Cox.
The Beeb can't please eveyone all the time, I am glad some enjoyed it.
