Lived in London in the early 90s and loved the concept and presentation of the TV program, a wonderful blend of inquiry, creativity, and eccentricity. I haven't seen an episode in decades but I still remember the one where they made magnetic recording tape and another scene where they tested the hypothesis (or Murphy's Law) about a piece of toast always landing on the buttered side. It was basically a bunch of people sitting at picnic tables flipping toast onto the grass and recording the outcome. I remember thinking: something like this could never fly in the U.S. The suits would shoot it down before it saw the light of day. But I was proven wrong a little over 10 years later when MythBusters launched.
