Horrible Science: The Big Bang Proms Experiment

Created by BBC

Join Albert Einstein and Marie Curie as they share the DNA of CBBC’s hit comedy sketch show Horrible Science

Join Albert Einstein and Marie Curie as they share the DNA of CBBC’s hit comedy sketch show Horrible Science live at the Royal Albert Hall with some scientifically proven bangers from the classical canon. They’ll be joined by some of the great characters from science to introduce sensational sounds from Holst’s The Planets to John Williams’s Star Wars. But will the Prom survive Dr Big Brain’s devilish desire to conquer the universe?
