Lightning on TV

from Question of the Week, from the Naked Scientists · host Dr Chris Smith

Should you turn off the TV in a thunderstorm? In this electrifying Question of the Week we find out if an attached aerial attracts lightning, or if it's safe to ride out the storm in front of your set. Plus, we ask if we might find new reserves of oil, and how do we keep the Olympic torch alight mid-flight? Like this podcast? Please help us by supporting the Naked Scientists
