Episode Twenty-Six - 15th October 1987 - Oh Macanndy Man Can

Batten 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.
