Summary: Based on the unforgettable Open University and Television for Schools programs of the 1970s. Through a series of gloriously deadpan experiments, we observe a colony of ants build an igloo, receive a telephone call from a brain, discover why ghosts can't whistle, and reveal the largest number in the world. Science has never been so silly.
