    Episode Sixty-Five - 12th October 1972 - Reach Out Oil Be There

    Send us Fan Mail With Europe entering its fifth unprecedented heatwave of the summer and the Strait of Hormuz closed, it feels like fossil fuels are really having a moment in 2026. Long time listeners will know that it has been our dream since the early days of the podcast to get our own oil rig and as the energy companies' profits are absolutely skyrocketing, now seems like the perfect time.  We do probably need to brush up a little bit on our knowledge of the industry before we dive right in, so what better way to do that than with this very special North Sea oil episode of Tomorrow's World from 1972? Raymond Baxter presents from a very impressive drillship called the Pelican, while William Woollard visits a monstrous floating storage facility in Norway. Meanwhile, Michael Rodd investigates the health effects of oily fish and discovers a whole new way to enjoy coke.

    Episode Sixty-Four - 12th May 1995 - Double Bubble, Soil and Truffle

    Send us Fan Mail The World Cup's come round again. And England have been eliminated again. So what better way to apply some salve to those wounds than with an episode of Tomorrow's World that features a soccer-themed segment? This one might hold the key to all of us getting rich down the bookies, so be sure to take notes. Carol Vorderman presents from her stool in the studio, while out in the field we see: - Shahnaz Pakravan snuffling truffles in Germany - Rebecca Stephens watching some brutal brain surgery in America - Howard Stableford playing a computer cop in Camden - Monty Don scanning soil samples in Australia We haven't asked Wayne Rooney what he thought of this episode, but we've got a good idea what he would say...

    Episode Sixty-Three - 27th January 1983 - I Love It When Macann Comes in Leather

    Send us Fan Mail Your auditors recently noticed that despite knocking out over sixty episodes of this podcast, they had completely failed to cover a single episode from 1983 - so here's an episode that makes amends for that terrible oversight.  As luck would have it, a truly momentous event took place this year: The A-Team premiered, taking its star Mr. T to stratospheric heights of worldwide fame.  In case you weren't aware of what a truly great man Mr. T is, Russ is here to furnish you with all the details - and in between all the fun there's also time to audit a quite boring episode of Tomorrow's World.  Kieran Prendiville, Judith Hann and Peter Macann are your hosts, taking a look at the following developments: - Plastic rooftile fittings - Two-way communication for motorcyclists - The dangers of boxing - The new Boeing 757 - Teeny tiny TVs - Liquid crystal innovations - Sheep rumination monitoring devices Support the show If 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.

    Episode Sixty-Two - 1st April 1992 - A Bit of a Hann Fool

    Send us Fan Mail Here's a bit of fun for everybody who has been celebrating April Fool's Month (and we're sure that's most of you) - a lighthearted little episode from 1st April 1992 where viewers are invited to spot the fake item hidden amongst a whole host of improbable-seeming technological tomfoolery. Can you spot it or will you find yourself forever pitied by Mr. T?

    Episode Sixty-One - 25th September 2002 - Tomorrow's World Award It Time

    Send us Fan Mail With the awards season fresh in their minds, Russ and Mark travel back a mere 24 years to 2002 where Kate Humble and Roger Black host the third (and last) annual Tomorrow's World Awards - in association with British Gas. There's actually quite a bit of interesting stuff in here as there's quite a few decent inventions among the nominees, alongside a whole cavalcade of stars roped in to dish out the gongs.

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

    Send us Fan Mail Happy 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 elephant It's mostly a bland load of nothing episode. But who doesn't love a flamethrower?

    Send us Fan Mail Crikey. How is it Christmas again already? Time passes so fast these days that we reckon there must be something up with the space-time continuum. Speaking of which, join us as we celebrate the season by unwrapping another Tomorrow's World Christmas Quiz, featuring grumpy alien child abductor Dr. Who and a cavalcade of other late-80s superstars.
