A classic experiment (drop some peanuts in a glass of lemonade; watch what happens), given a dramatic touch.
I thought I was going to hate this. ‘Oh no,’ I thought, ‘A film with people trying to act, putting a deceptively subtle experiment in a dramatic setting. It’s going to be a mess.’ But it’s much better than that.
OK, so bits of it make no sense. That’s fine, constructing a drama is hard. What’s much more important is that the team have taken it seriously, and really thought through what they’re doing. Our never seeing the face of Dr. A, for example, is a masterstroke, and nicely realised with the over-the-shoulder shot in his lair. The acting isn’t half bad either - there’s not much time to squeeze in things like the deep breath before knocking on the door, but keeping that in was absolutely the right decision. Touches like the oversize remote control are funny, too.
So, this is a brave effort. It’s not an entirely successful film, I think it’s fair to say, but SciCast is as much about the process as the end result. This team have put lots of time and care into their film, and should be commended for that.

A lot of debating on which is better, perfect poo or this and I have to say, it think I just preferred this one. Both very good films but I just seemed to relate to this one in a very strange (and slightly unnerving) way.
Both get 5*s from me but overall I would give this one 5.1*'s and perfect poo the 5*'s.

I agree with 'Science time' and disagree with 'Sammy'. Perfect Poo is definately:
a) funnier
b) better acting
c) more interesting
d) put together better
e) and more educational
Sorry but I don't think that it should be on the top rated...

Im going to show a Planet Sci-Cast video in my morning registration times in the next half term and this will definitely be the first. Although its not the best video on here scientifically, I'm sure it will engage the childrens attention well which is exactly what I need it to do.
