    Send a text In memory of a dearly departed friend, we go back 60 years to a very special nautical episode that we know he would have enjoyed.  In an exciting departure from normal service, Raymond Baxter presents to us live from the first ever commercial crossing of the Channel by hovercraft. And along the way he shows us a whole range of exciting new developments in the world of seagoing transportation. This includes: - Hydrofoils - Research submarines - Aquanauts (the "Dandies of the Deep") - Underwater ejector seats - Dracone barges - Plenty of hovercraft chat Avast ye landlubbers! Anchors aweigh! etc etc. 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 Fifty-Nine - 5th May 1999 - The Fire and the Fourie

    Send a text 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 a text 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. Merry Christmas everyone!

    Episode Fifty-Seven - 20th June 1985 - The Hanndenburg

    Send a text There'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 skills 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 Fifty-Six - 20th January 1993 - Super Mario Nation

    Send a text Mark'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 singing There was a lot of stuff to talk about so this is a bit of a long episode...

    Episode Fifty-Five - 25th August 1982 - Kieran Vaudeville

    Send a text They say laughter is the best medicine. But who are "they" and are they right? 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. You're guaranteed a rib-tickling time, particularly if you happen to be a chimp.

    Episode Fifty-Four - 28th March 1972 - Burke Dough Guard

    Send a text Despite 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. Not bad for a 20 minute show...

    Episode Fifty-Three - 12th January 2000 - Millennium Fallow Con

    Send a text This 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.
