Harith Iskander explores and explains the science in everyday life using reason, logic and rationale and science in this BBC Earth original commission. Some of the themes explored in the series are food, health and fitness, sport, anatomy and technology. Fast-paced and packed with information, Harith threads these stories together in his inimitable light, almost tongue-in-cheek manner through his running commentary and funny one-liners. Popular myths like durians and alcohol will kill you and MSG is bad for you are just some topics covered in the new series.
Got Science? is set to premier on BBC Earth on Thursday 11th September 2018 at 8.05pm and will be available on BBC Player at the same time.
