There was a BBC Kid's TV presenter called Jonny Ball, who used to go out every
week and learn about some subject that he knew nothing about and then come
back and present a live TV show all about it. He was so enthused by what he'd
just learned, but just as new to the jargon as his audience that it made for
a highly entertaining and educational kids TV show. I grokked several science
and maths concepts from his show that mainstream education had previously
failed to convey.
Is there any kind of centralised listing of what's doc'd and what's not?
Let me guess. ;-)
