Episode Details

Say What?! is the news comedy show for kids aged 5 to 10, where three real, strange, true stories get the absurd comedy treatment. Today: a man called Joe drives a big truck all day, then spends twenty two years in the room under his house building the whole of New York out of little bits of soft wood. Eight hundred thousand tiny buildings. He got the idea on a school trip when he was six, and now a big museum has put the lot on show. Then a city in Romania lays one table three miles long straight down its biggest street, built entirely from things people were throwing away, and twenty thousand people sit down and eat together to help build a new children's hospital. And in a puddle near you, a creature made of a single tiny blob squeezes down to a quarter of its size about two hundred times faster than you can blink. Scientists have just worked out how: it wears a stretchy net that goes floppy like wet spaghetti and pulls tight. Now they want to copy it to build super fast muscles for machines. Pip, Grump, Brad and Vera take it from there. New episodes Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
