“Alexa, show me some brilliant, entertaining and intelligent content on the wonders of modern science and engineering.” The Secret Genius of Modern Life, with Hannah Fry. It’s like my beloved childhood show Tomorrow’s World, mixed with James Burke’s Connections series. I love it, plus now a new celebrity crush https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001f1tg

Note you can watch the episodes on what appears to be called Hannah Fry's Official YT channel if you're not in the UK.

Also her podcast with Dr Adam Rutherford "The Curious Cases of Rutherford and Fry." Is excellent.

Thank you. I’ve been watching them with a VPN and a friend’s postcode on a BBC account

This doesnt seem to have an imdb entry. Weird.

That is odd, only three eps aired, and on the iPlayer so far.

I listen to the Curious cases of Rutherford and Fry, and Hannah Fry has one of the most charming demeanors. They're a lot of fun to listen to, and explain things that a layman can understand, but takes you deeper into a subject, too. If she's hosting a new show, I think I can safely say it's worth watching.

I'm always down for something nature or science or engineering by the BBC. Always delivers.
