H&G are rarely in awe of celebrities. Indeed as readers will note, most are considered the talentless spawn of Russel Brands least funny jokes, of which there are many.....
However in a rare exception to this rule we bring you the king of childhood science , Mr Johnny Ball.

In an age where the Planataaaarium has been replaced by Starworld (see earlier blog) nothing pleased us more than having a chat with the man who brought us 'Think of a number'. A show where the set was as creaky as Brian Ferrys hip joints but the joy of learning was always at the forefront.

Bravo sir.
