In a new series, David Baddiel sets out to make sense of some apparently puzzling topics.
In this first programme, and after hearing suggestions from his followers on social media, David seeks to understand electricity. He travels to Manchester to learn the basics from a professor of high voltage technology, and to Staffordshire to grasp the operations of a huge power station.
Producer: Giles Edwards.
