Logo for Richard Hammond's Blast Lab - Series 1 - Episode 3

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. This time, Richard explores lift and friction. Richard and the gang build hovercrafts. In the studio they are made out of a bottle top, a CD and a balloon. But at Richard's top-secret test facility, his team of loyal lab rats make a hovercraft out of wood, plastic sheeting and leaf blowers.
