It's a rare comedy show where you hear: And what we have here are two parabolic mirrors...
Slotting nerdishly into the QI and Brainiac gap, is this curious amalgam of science and gags. Team captains Lee Hurst and Dominic Holland are joined by genuine eggheads this week - a plant boffin and a Natural History Museum insect expert.
While many of us moan about TV dumbing down, attempts like this to dumb-up, as it were, leave you confused about whether to start laughing or cramming.
