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.

Send us Fan MailThere's only two times in history when people were obsessed with airships - 1937, when that Zeppelin exploded in a ball of flame, and 1985 when Roger Moore dangled off one in San Francisco. Tomorrow's World was only there to record the latter of these incidents. But what a truly incredible job they do here. Milton Keynes has never looked more exciting. We've got:- Judith Hann trying to make herself heard over the sound of airship engines- Maggie Philbin dressed as Ronald McDonald on a rubbish bike- Peter Macann giving himself a parking ticket on the way to the cricket- Howard Stableford showing off his chopper skillsSupport 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.

Send us Fan MailMark's been on another one of his holidays. This time to Japan. So it seems the ideal time to cast our eye over an episode of Tomorrow's World that is all about the technological metropolis of Tokyo.Howard Stableford and Kate Bellingham are our lucky hosts, getting to try out all sorts of stuff that in 1993 would have looked like it was impossibly futuristic, including:- Train tunnel cartoons- The NEC Supertower- A robotic Peeping Tom- Sleeping with the fishes- Artificial goat womb- Nintendo vs Sega- Useless inventions- Earthquake prediction- Howard singingThere was a lot of stuff to talk about so this is a bit of a long episode...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.

Thank goodness Kieran Prendiville is here to help us find out. A very special episode of Tomorrow's World from 1982 with some very special guests and some very poor jokes.

Send us Fan MailDespite only just digesting episode 53, Russ and Mark are back with a practically snack-sized morsel from 1972. This episode of Tomorrow's World may be unusually short, but it punches well above its weight in terms of quality content. Making a very welcome return is James Burke, with an all-timer of a segment explaining how anyone can commit the heist of the century using only a cigarette machine and a stationery cupboard.Raymond Baxter is holding fort back at the studio, demonstrating some very important and delightfully noisy new rescue equipment.Joining him is a youthful Michael Rodd, who is keen to show off his new chair.All that and we also get to see why you should never ask spies to organise a fireworks display.

Send us Fan MailThis time round Russ and Mark decide to heed the advice of Jarvis Cocker and meet up in the year 2000 for the first proper Tomorrow's World episode broadcast in the new millennium. Is it strange now we're all fully grown? Well, not strange exactly. More bang average to be honest. But as always, there's fun to had taking it all apart.Philippa Forrester and Peter Snow present from the most gantry-infested set of them all, while also reporting from Japan and Seattle where they try out tank tracks for 4x4s and learn about a new multiple sclerosis treatment. Elsewhere, Anya Sitaram visits MIT to play pranks with a new type of directional speaker, while Lindsey Fallow explores the canals of Birmingham with some schoolkids and a useless computer.Warning: Contains white hot SnowSupport 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.

Send us Fan MailRuss and Mark have finally finished tidying up after the big 50th party and now it's back to work doing some serious auditing. This episode is in response to a listener enquiring as to the wherabouts of William Woollard. So here he is, joined by fellow TW GOATs Raymond Baxter, Judith Hann and Michael Rodd. Bit of an engineering focus this time round, as we take a look at:- A thrilling new way to apply liquid gaskets- Funky anti-lock brakes for motorbikes- The scourge of school vandalism- Digital readouts for drilling- Judith's rubber belts- A Scottish cure for stammeringSupport 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.

Send us Fan MailThe big five-O. The half century. The golden jubilee. That's 50 editions of your favourite auditing podcast in the bag. That's a whopping 3.5% of all episodes of Tomorrow's World ever made that we've managed to cover (and 17% of all episodes of h&p@bbc. for less understandable reasons)To celebrate such an auspicious occasion, Russ & Mark travel back 60 years to take a look at what the BBC claims is the first ever episode of TW (and we suspect is actually the second episode, but let's not quibble)The show is still finding its feet and nobody involved seems to have realised that television ought to be at least somewhat entertaining, but let's crack on anyway and take a look at the following segments:- The first ever home kidney dialysis machine- A grifter hoping to dam up the Solway Firth- The Mariner 4 spacecraft's mission to photograph Mars- And that's it!

Send us Fan MailRuss & Mark look back to January 1985, when Ronald Reagan had his second presidential inauguration - an event with many similarities to Trump's recent one. This episode of Tomorrow's World from just a few days before strives to keep us warm and cosy on a chilly winter night with the following segments:Maggie Philbin tests out a new electric blanket, plus electric carpets and a mysterious Norwegian bicycle wheel.Peter Macann tries out a new method for inserting pins into teeth.Kieran Prendiville posits the existence of "strange matter" and demonstrates a new fancy whiteboard.And Judith Hann sets sail on the Thames Bubbler and has a quick game of 'squarsh'.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.

Hosted, as ever, by Howard Stableford, it's a lovely lump of festive fun.Obviously there's the usual crew of Judith Hann, Peter Macann and Maggie Philbin, but because it's Christmas we've also got Moira Stuart, Keith Chegwin, George Takei and the unassailable Rod Hull and Emu.

Send us Fan MailWe all need cheering up sometimes don't we? And what better way to do that than for your auditors to dig out a brand new tune from the burgeoning Michael Rodd songbook? Sadly, it seems no good deed goes unpunished as the rest of this episode is an absolute dog's breakfast.Feel free to switch off after the opening song - but if you don't, here's what else you can expect:- A man with a dicky ticker putting his hand in a bucket of water- Michael Rodd shuffling in front of, sitting behind and squatting on top of various desks- Kieran Prendiville complaining about car repair bills and riding a useless bicycle- Judith Hann desperately pumping the brakesDon't worry, it's nearly Christmas and we can forget all this ever happened.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.

Send us Fan MailWe all remember the famous Ronald Reagan speech where he implored "Mr. Hasselhoff, tear down this wall!" But what wall was he talking about? The Berlin Wall of course! And it turns out that Big Ronnie's wishes were granted 35 years ago this very day (if you're listening on day of release). In order to celebrate this classic toppling event, your auditors travel even further back in time to an era when that big pile of rubble was still very much wall-shaped for a very special episode focusing entirely on West Germany.William Woollard is our sole host (with Derek Cooper on narration duties) as we take some very long and thorough looks at:- Testing the suppleness of classical musicians with torture devices- Rejected Thunderbird vehicles clearing up a nuclear spill- Willy Woolly crank calling the Siemens internal operator- Some pro-level bowling from a deafblind person- Mountaineering in top-to-toe denim to catch some fresh airAs the old German saying goes: "Ich lichten nichten" (Translation: "I don't like it, but I'll have to go along with it")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.

Send us Fan MailAs far as TV sitcoms go, no single episode of anything has made Russ laugh more than series 1, episode 2 of Bottom - the one where the gas man turns up. So to commemorate this perfect half hour of television, your auditors take a look at the episode of Tomorrow's World broadcast just two days prior. It's the first in a new series and marks the very start of the 90s "drum theme" era - which means we see Carmen Pryce's debut segment (in a small European town, natch) and short-lived (in more ways than one) presenter John Diamond, who is surfing some dodgy internet sites. Elsewhere, Judith Hann has a lightbulb moment, Howard Stableford deals with severe wind in India and Kate Bellingham does her best Ronnie Corbett impression.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.

Send us Fan MailFor only the second time ever, your auditors take a special look at an episode handpicked by one of their very favourite people - an actual paying subscriber. Steve wrote to us claiming that he remembered Howard's first ever appearance on Tomorrow's World with a level of clarity and detail that seems humanly impossible for a live programme last seen 39 years ago.

Yes, the Olympics are on at the moment - and rather than listening to the pointless TV commentary, why not stick on our very special Olympic-themed episode of the podcast for a veritable biathlon of entertainment? Howard Stableford and Shahnaz Pakravan travel over to Atlanta, the host city for the 1996 Games, to take a look at what preparations are being made ahead of the event and how the competitors can improve their performance. We see how the Olympic Torch is being constructed, traffic solutions in Atlanta, the latest in prosthetics, what performance enhancing drugs to avoid and how winning boosts sex drive. Faster, higher, stronger indeed...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.

Send us Fan MailTo celebrate the podcast reaching the Big 4-0, Russ and Mark audit a very special episode of Tomorrow's World broadcast on the day that the Channel Tunnel opened - exactly 30 years ago today. Howard Stableford and Carmen Pryce give us a comprehensive overview of various aspects of this engineering marvel - including segments on the Eurostar, Le Shuttle, sea levels, ferries, seasickness, and the threat of French rabies.

Send us Fan MailLet us travel back almost exactly 45 years to a time when "Boomer" was a cool name and "Starbuck" had nothing to do with coffee. Battlestar Galactica has just been released in UK cinemas, so surely the team at Tomorrow's World will pull out all the stops to make sure their small screen science fact is as exciting as the big screen science fiction? Hmmm. Well, maybe not.There's a certain sense that things aren't firing on all cylinders this episode, with segments on a robot lawnmower built by sixth formers, a new type of fire alarm, monorails, red spider mites, babies learning maths, and the longest, beigest report on oil rig corrosion we have ever seen. Kieran Prendiville and Michael Rodd do most of the heavy lifting, while Judith Hann stays slumped in an armchair with chronic jetlag.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.

Send us Fan MailAccording to the sorts of people on the internet who make up quotes and then attribute them to famous people in order to sell posters and T-shirts, Gandhi once said "If you don't ask, you don't get". And what a wise man he was (if he said that, which he almost certainly didn't). You see, one of our esteemed subscribers had the revolutionary idea of asking us to audit a particular episode, which features Howard Stableford arguing with a talking Hoover, and that is exactly what we've done.Elsewhere in this absolutely jam-packed episode we will encounter Judith Hann saying aloha to abalone in Hawaii, new girl Anna Walker soaping up on the runway, Peter Macann almost wheely hurting himself, and Maggie Philbin back doing what she loves best: shooting arrows into apples.Trigger warning: This episode features what may be the greatest number of podia ever assembled in one Tomorrow's World segment.

It's time once again for Russ & Mark to take down the particulars of a Tomorrow's World special episode and, because they are celebrating the 40th birthday of The Bill, they're going to watch one focusing on 'The Forces of Law and Order'. William Woollard is loitering with intent outside the headquarters of Interpol, reporting on heroin smuggling in Marseilles and Amsterdam, a kidnapping in Sicily, and the tactics of the bonecrunching CRS riot squad.Meanwhile, Michael Rodd is proceeding in an easterly direction to Germany, tailing a stolen Merc and admiring the frighteningly well-equipped Bundesgrenzschutz.We're also treated to a guest presenter in the form of radiant Dutch reporter Ria Dalmeijer, who brightens up an otherwise rather bleak examination of policing in Northern Ireland.Get your trousers on son.

Send us Fan MailIt's been a long time coming, but finally Russ and Mark get round to auditing an episode from the short-lived Vorderman era of Tomorrow's World. Was it worth the wait? Absolutely not, but they still somehow find plenty to chat about. A very hoarse Carol Vorderman hosts on her own from the studio, before heading up to Nottingham to meet a young lad with a cochlear implant; Vivienne Parry checks out the hot new trend in paralysing spinal injections; Howard Stableford discovers a completely different definition of 'fish tanks'; and Shahnaz Pakravan raises more questions than she answers when she tries to flambé a Frenchman's face.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.

Send us Fan MailThis time Russ & Mark pay tribute to the second-best film ever made and take a look at the episode of Tomorrow's World broadcast the week that Predator stormed into UK cinemas. For some reason almost everything they look at involves water and/or magnets, so if that floats your boat please stick around to enjoy:Maggie Philbin testing batteries and purifying oil rig water, Judith Hann visiting Shanghai to sniff their sewage, Peter Macann windsurfing like a pro, and Stephen Hawking showing off his new voice to Howard Stableford.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.

Send us Fan MailWith everyone banging on about A.I. these days, Russ and Mark thought they'd better jump aboard the bandwagon before it leaves town and take a look at an episode of Tomorrow's World that features a virtual personality called Maddie, who demonstrates plenty of the A but not a lot of the I when she answers calls from the public.Also in the programme, which let's not forget heralds from the very worst era of TW, Kate Humble plays with penguins and pumps up balls, Roger Black bandages a hurdler, Adam Hart-Davis chats to Rob McElwee about a satellite, Katie Knapman watches over a couple of sick kids and arch-Brexiteer Dr David Bull shows us some heart (not his). 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.

Send us Fan MailAfter a month off to recuperate, Russ and Mark ease themselves back into the world of tomorrow with an extremely run-of-the-mill episode from 1973. It's just a week after the end of the Vietnam War and it doesn't seem like there's much going on at the moment (except the Cod War). Still, at least this makes for one of the shortest episodes of the podcast ever, so you can't complain about that. Listen on as Derek Cooper narrates films about fish pheromones and tin can recycling, William Woollard tries to cause a gas explosion in an old lady's kitchen, Michael Rodd gets under the bonnet of a Morris Marina before examining a woman's legs, and our esteemed host Raymond Baxter keeps an eye on proceedings through his fancy new high-speed camera.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.

Send us Fan MailRuss and Mark are in a celebratory mood - not only have they made it to 30 episodes, but it is also by pure coincidence the 30th anniversary of the World Wide Web. Luckily for those of you confused by this new fangled internet thing, Tomorrow's World have put together a "Webwise Special" explaining everything you need to know about the information superhighway. So strap on your surfboard and get stuck in as Philippa Forrester and Peter Snow welcome us to the digital future, with the help of Craig Doyle, Lindsey Fallow, Sir Steve Redgrave and Douglas Adams.ACHTUNG: This episode also features a not inconsiderable amount of Hale and Pace.

That's the last time we rely on Michael Rodd's maths to work out what date it's supposed to be... But just like that Creme Egg you find down the back of the sofa, there's so much good stuff inside this episode that you can tuck in any time of the year and still enjoy yourself.Listen on as Kieran Prendiville shows us his fancy chopper, Judith Hann necks some pills and catches some rays, Su Ingle grows a third hand after visiting Windscale, and the incomparable Michael Rodd blinds us all with his teeth and some truly miraculous mathematics.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.

It's what you've all been crying out for - a European agricultural extravaganza! Listen on as Russ & Mark spend far longer than they thought they would finding out about truffle cultivation, cow breeding, overachieving German farmers, cutting-edge tractor tech, stretched pigs, the Green Pound, and aphid monitoring. Alongside Raymondo on presentation duties are special Irish guest host Caroline Erskine, William Woollard is in the voiceover booth and Michael Rodd provides his trademark comic relief.Sláinte!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.

Send us Fan MailBatten down the hatches, take shelter and ignore Michael Fish, because there's a hurricane brewing! Coming live from BBC TV Centre on the very night of the Great Storm of 1987, Maggie Philbin and Howard Stableford brave the rotten weather outside, while sensible Judith Hann and Peter Macann stay dry in the studio. There's a whole load of nonsense segments this episode, with a couple of good ideas somewhere in between. Listen on to hear about: Robo-jockeys in Memphis, nuisance phonecalls in Bristol, a new way to stop car thieves, anti-genes, pampered mussels in Plymouth, prism specs, a British spaceplane, superconductors, Japanese musical fish farming, healthy sugar from apples, fingerprinting bacteria and drunk bears in Montana.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.

Send us Fan MailHave you ever wondered what this podcast would be like if Russ didn't edit out all the times Mark talked about football? Well you're about to find out, as for one episode only we change into our referee kits and take a look at a Tomorrow's World from the week before the 1998 World Cup. And if you want to know what we thought of it, look away now.... [it's an absolute snoozefest]Philippa Forrester keeps watch from the dugout while Craig Doyle tickles the ivories, Anya Sitaram cools her jets, Russia and Ukraine get on with each other, Peter Snow goes time travelling and Jez Nelson takes the most belaboured free kick in footballing history.

Send us Fan MailWarning: This episode is not for the faint-hearted, as we travel back 30 years to the week following BBC1's broadcast of the SCARIEST TV PROGRAMME EVER MADE - Ghostwatch. However, on Tomorrow's World Halloween is a distant memory as they turn their attention to the imminent Bonfire Night, with promises of an absolutely spectacular firework display at the end of the show. Can you already smell the dampness of those squibs?Also on the show, Judith chats about biodiesel and dodgy glassware, Kate goes paragliding in Kent and reports on measles and seaweed, Howard meets a grumpy artist and then listens to the Beach Boys while fat shaming himself, and Carmen takes a spin in a Dutch centrifuge.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.

Send us Fan MailEver wondered what would happen if the people who make Tomorrow's World went on strike? Well, wonder no more. Turns out that all they do is cobble together a Frankenstein's monster of a programme from old segments of previous episodes. The interesting thing, as your esteemed auditors quickly discover, is that whoever is normally in charge of quality control is very much on strike too. Listen on as Michael Rodd fondles a gnome, laughs at some trains and breaks America, Kieran Prendiville gets stuck up a mast, and Judith Hann does her back in after crashing a chopper.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.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode we find ourselves slap-bang in the middle of the 1980s, where one of the more unexpected outcomes of widespread famine in Ethiopia is not one, but two chart-busting charity singles featuring a veritable who's who of top pop stars. But while Band Aid and USA For Africa are slugging it out in the charts (and possibly a pub car park), the gang at Tomorrow's World are focusing on more domestic issues. Listen on as Kieran Prendiville sniffs some maggots and jiggles a catheter before pouring himself a scotch, Judith Hann shines brighter than the sun, Maggie Philbin has a go at both rowing and mowing, and Peter Macann becomes Clint Eastwood for the day.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.

Send us Fan MailBack from a month-long hiatus, and still recovering from the avalanche of boot-licking, brown-nosing and forelock-tugging that was the Platinum Jubilee, Russ and Mark decide now is the perfect time to cash in on Royal Family fever. Luckily for us, Tomorrow's World has a long and distinguished relationship with our blue-blooded overlords by way of The Prince of Wales Award for Innovation and Production, an annual prize that recognised the successes (and sometimes failures) of promising new British inventions.HRH Judith Hann hosts this special show from Highgrove House with her able assistant Charlie Windsor, while Howard Stableford, Carmen Pryce and Kate Bellingham give us the lowdown on this year's finalists.

Send us Fan MailIt's 30th April 1997, just one week before the election where Tony Blair is promising that "Things Can Only Get Better". Well, as far as Tomorrow's World is concerned, they really can't. This is an absolute doozy of an episode, stuffed even fuller than New Labour's ballot box with weird and wonderful characters. Come join the party as Shahnaz Pakravan enters a Scottish robot, Vivienne Parry chows down in a rubber johnny restaurant, Jez Nelson visits the Holy Land, Philippa Forrester sleeps her way to the top and Howard Stableford gets the board games out. Warning: This episode contains scenes of extreme fashion choices.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.
