With Quentin Cooper. Fracking for oil and gas and listening to the ground, Hidden Heroes at the Science Museum and a last chance for amateur scientists.

This week Quentin investigates fracking for oil and gas - could it cause earthquakes or contaminate water supplies? Listening to the ground with an optical fibre to hear what's going on down a borehole. A visit to the new Hidden Heroes exhibition at the Science Museum and a last chance for amateur scientists to enter 'So You Want To Be A Scientist.

Producer: Martin Redfern.
