Tomorrows World (Early Seventies)

OK who else is old enough to remember T/W and the episode where they sprayed and electric power drill with this "Substance" via a spray can into the electrical components?

They then got a fish tank full of water dipped the live appliance in to it with a bare hand and promptly proved it worked without shorting nor killing the presenter?

[B][SIZE="4"]Well I WANT SOME OF THAT DARN STUFF FOR MY HELI[/SIZE][/B] :confused:

It's rained here for day & days and I'm getting withdrawal symptoms :svengo:

I know how you feel, mSR as good as it is has got me some bad habits, TW wow what a show though. Dont make 'em like they used to, was a fav of mine as a kid.

Been trying to Google the details but I wouldn't be surprised if Health & Safety have had all records of that stunt erased !!!!

It worked well but I bet the presenter had to change his underwear afterward!!!

I have very fond memories of this lady doing it for a while:

But I also recall James Burke, William Woolard, Judith Hann etc.

I feel a nostalgic thread full of the best 80's and early 90's TV coming on :D.

If I hadn't met Martin I'd now be calling him and "[B]Old Fogey[/B]" but he's bigger than me so I won't :D
