The science of online auction bidding, making new products from life on the ocean floor, experiments on noises we hate and why the clock change might kill us.
This week's programme features another finalist from 'So You Want to Be a Scientist' - Material World's search for the 大象传媒's Amateur Scientist of the Year. Izzy Thomlinson, aged 18 from Shropshire, tests people's reactions to horrible sounds at the Big Bang Fair in Birmingham. From scraping fingernails down a blackboard to squeaky polystyrene, what is the most annoying sound in the world and do the sounds that make us wince change with age? Presented by Quentin Cooper.
Producer: Julian Siddle.
