Episode Fifty-Nine - 5th May 1999 - The Fire and the Fourie

Send us Fan MailHappy New Year! And welcome to the future...We kick off 2026 with one of our favourite things - a listener request. Mark's friend India had a bizarre and barely believable memory of an episode involving a South African man who had attached flamethrowers to his car. Doesn't sound like Tomorrow's World does it? Well sure enough, here it is.This is actually a whole South Africa special, where Philippa Forrester and Craig Doyle take a tour of the country on the famous Blue Train, finding out:- How to study cricketers with mocap- How to track animals with a PalmPilot- How to set fire to carjackers- How to cure TB with some local plants- How to attach a collar to an elephantIt's mostly a bland load of nothing episode. But who doesn't love a flamethrower?Support the showIf you press on that link above here that says "Support the show", you can chuck us a couple of quid to show your appreciation for this nonsense (not that we expect anyone to do this)As always, there is a video version of this podcast available.
