Richard Hammond's Blast Lab - Series 1 - Episode 1

Richard Hammond's Blast Lab is an entertaining and anarchic studio-based science game show set in the surreal world of Richard's secret laboratory, found under the watermill of his fictitious country mansion. Two teams of three contestants compete with each other over four rounds. They must answer true or false science questions, perform scientific experiments using ordinary household objects, predict the outcomes of jaw-dropping stunts and battle to win prizes in a furiously messy final game. The losing team must then blow up their prizes in an exploding bidet. Nothing is ever quite as it seems in this exciting, surreal and action-packed show. In the opening episode of the series, Richard and his two teams of budding young scientists study rocket propulsion. But they don't do this with dusty old text books. Instead, in true Blast Lab tradition, Richard and the teams race some balloons over a giant gunge tank and watch a jet pack man propel himself 30 metres in the air as he attempts the world's highest ever basketball slam dunk.
