Across the UK, across continental North America and around the world on the internet, by webcast

and by podcast, my name is Howard Hughes and this is the return of the unexplained.

Coming to you from a rainy London town but at least spring is just about here.

Thank you very much for being part of this show. Keep the emails coming.

Now a very different edition of the show this time. I've taken the show out to one of the most important scientific sites in this country.

In fact, one of the most important scientific sites in the world.

You know, at the last head of the unexplained, I guess our mantra is hard science, weird science and pure paranormality.

Those are the things that we cover here which gives us a pretty wide canvas to paint on.

Don't you think? And a pretty big palette of colours to do the painting with.

So the place we went to, National Physical Laboratory in Teddington, Southwest London, which is on the fringes of Middlesex and Surrey,

but well and truly part of London, and you could easily drive past this place and not realise how important it is.

I have lived not too far from it for many years and I didn't know what went on there.

The only thing I ever knew about it was that it was involved in the testing of the famous bouncing bomb in World War II.

For the damn busters raid, look it up. It was a very, very important and pivotal part of the war.

And so it was developed here at the National Physical Laboratory.

These days they do work on a lot of cutting edge technology and science.

In fact, just about every important development from space and the instruments that he used in space and calibrating them to cancer research,

the nature of cancer cells they're researching, which we will hear on this edition of the unexplained.
