SCIENCE lessons will never be the same again, now that Dr Bunhead has hit York.

The BBC science presenter, seen here pouring dry ice over Charlotte Brady, 11, brought his exciting and highly individual approach to his subject to the city's Poppleton Road School, delighting the children with his dramatic, high-impact demonstrations and comic audience interplay.

And there is more to come from the doctor, for he will be bringing his show, Kamikaze Cowpats, to a wider audience at the Grand Opera House, on Friday, May 23, and Saturday, May 24.

Dr Bunhead shows are written and performed by Tom Pringle, a qualified teacher and research scientist. Tom has worked for six years as a "freelance science communicator", developing and broadening both public understanding of science and excitement about the subject.
