Mark Williams Big Bangs

Image 1 / 1

British Actor Mark Williams (aka Mr Weasley from the Harry Potter films) presents an amusing, and informative, history of explosives. Filmed in locations around the world, Mark investigates the science behind a variety of explosions - from the accidental discovery of gunpowder by Chinese alchemists 1000 years ago, to the awesome power of the atom bomb. Watch as Mark catapults wildfire from a giant trebuchet, experiences a night-time detonation in one of the world’s deepest mines, and discovers how a whole civilisation was destroyed in Istanbul when gunpowder cannons destroyed the city walls. With plenty of action and a whole artillery of weapons, this series will have you on the edge of your seat.
