The BBC has announced that it is working on a successor to Tomorrow’s World. This was always one of my favourite shows as a child, (yeah, I know I’m a nerd 
), and I’m glad to see something like this making a return. We need some form of popular science show on TV, otherwise the vast majority of people will become ignorant of even the basics of science - but that’s a rant for another day…
Just a month after Sir David Attenborough said it was “very, very sad” that Tomorrow’s World had been axed - five years ago - the BBC has today revealed it is making a “new popular science format for the early evening” on BBC1.
A new science show is one of the BBC’s top priorities for BBC1 over the next year, according to its annual statements of programme policy for all its TV, radio and online services, published today. The SOPPs lay out the corporation’s programming plans for the year to the end of March 2009.

Any type of science show will be welcomed at this point. If science is made enjoyable and interesting it can hold a captivating audience that only wants more.
Glad to hear that the BBC is working on a new one, too much trash is on the air waves these days.

If they can make the show as good as the US’s Bill Nye the Science guy, then they will have a winner of a show!
