In this Sunday’s serving of salubrious scienticity, you’ll hear the laws of physics and our regional accent capabilities pushed to the limits as we take you on a journey to the final frontiers of science-based topical sketch comedy.

This week we’ve got tiny chameleons, enormous rockets, and medium-sized drinking vessels that science has told us are “just right”.

Sure – you want to keep up with the latest developments in science. Who doesn’t? But, sometimes, doesn’t it all just get a bit heavy? Wouldn’t you like your science – and it is your science, after all – to be freshly squeezed from the week’s headlines and served in a tall glass of sketch comedy? And wouldn’t you like someone to pour that science juice straight into your ears – possibly using some hilarious (terrible) comedy accents?

Well, Sunday 12th February 2012 is your lucky day. (Not that you believe in luck, of course.) Watch this space, follow us on Twitter, and bate your breath. It’s nearly time for Interacting Weakly.
