In Leicestershire, at the John Taylor Bell Foundry, there's fire, sledgehammer swinging, and metal hotter than a volcano. Also, several questions about cheese.
In Rutland, I try to fit an entire county in one camera shot, learn to spot chimneys in the sky, and make a very strange noise. Let's learn about paragliding.
At the University of Lincoln's Crime Scene House, where they teach forensic science students in simulated crime scenes, I have a challenge for you.
In Nottinghamshire, I join the team at MRS Training and Rescue -- the former Mines Rescue Service -- for an exercise that could have been so much worse.
At Sheffield Hallam University in the West Riding of Yorkshire, I meet the Clinical Simulation team, and deal with some surprisingly animated patients. (Note: includes simulated blood and gore.)
At Peasholm Park in Scarborough, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, I visit the Naval Warfare, ride with the world's smallest crewed navy, and scare at least two seagulls.
At the John Bull Rock Factory outside Bridlington, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, I watch as boiling sugar becomes an enormous amount of rock. Also, there's 1990s Dutch happy hardcore.
In Northumberland, at the National Trust's Cragside mansion, I visit the former home of the Magician of the North.
At the Tyne Road Tunnels, just over the border into Durham, I get very wet and cold underneath a river...
In Westmorland, at Morecambe Bay, I meet the King's Guide to the Sands and walk across a very dangerous stretch of sand.
In Lancashire, at National Rail's Manchester signalling classroom, I learn why it's very, very rare for trains to collide... and then go to an actual, live signal box to see it for real.
A less intense version of the video from Sheffield Hallam University in the West Riding of Yorkshire, where I meet the Clinical Simulation team, and deal with some surprisingly animated patients. This less intense version, contains discussion of medical issues, reproductive organs and life-changing injuries, but where any simulated wounds and injuries have been blurred and desaturated.
