British children's animated series written by Josh Weinstein, who
has previously worked on 'The Simpsons' and 'Futurama'. The series
is set in and around a high school where strange events take place
and follows the students of the school as they try to make sense of
the bizarre occurrences. The pupils at the school include Becky
Butters (voice of Emma Kennedy), a studious girl who nonetheless
struggles with logic, and Mitchell Tanner (Doc Brown), a lively boy
who would much rather be playing with his friends than stuck in a
classroom. The voice cast also includes Richard Ayoade, Caroline
Aherne and Marc Silk.

All eight episodes from the sixth series of the ITV comedy drama.
Taking place 13 years on from the end of the last series, Adam
(James Nesbitt) returns to Manchester having travelled the world
and settled in Singapore after his wife's death. He returns with
his young girlfriend to fix his relationship with his rebellious,
teenage son Matthew (Ceallach Spellman), much to the delight of his
best friend Pete (John Thomson) who is struggling with depression
and financial troubles with his wife Jenny (Fay Ripley) and their
two children. Elsewhere, Karen and David (Hermione Norris and
Robert Bathurst) are building new lives following their divorce
whilst trying to raise their 16-year-old twins.
Six episodes from the BBC comedy series. 'And Now the Fearing...',
set in 1972, features three people trapped in a high rise lift.
'Frenzy of Tongs' is the story of Nathan Blaze and his meeting with
the fingered menace from the East, Hang Man Chang. 'Curse of the
Blood of the Lizard of Doom' follows Dr Baxter and his search for a
cure for the common burn in 1880's Edinburgh. 'Lesbian Vampire
Lovers of Lust' follows a newly wed couple who find themselves at
the mercy of luscious undead ladies, and 'Voodoo Feet of Death'
tells of a ballroom dancer who loses his feet in a freak accident
with giant scissors. Finally 'Scream Satan Scream!' is the story of
Captain Tobias Slater and his encounter with a genuine coven of
evil in Blackburn in 1645.
Manchester-born Sir Joseph John Thomson (1858-1940), discoverer of
the electron, was one of the most important Cambridge physicists of
the later nineteenth and first half of the twentieth centuries.
Succeeding Lord Rayleigh as Cavendish Professor of Experimental
Physics, he directed the research interests of the laboratory, and
eight of his students, including Rutherford, went on to win Nobel
Prizes, as Thomson himself did in 1906. He was knighted in 1908,
received the Order of Merit in 1912, and became Master of Trinity
College in 1918. He also served as President of the Royal Society
from 1915 from 1920 and was a government advisor on scientific
research during World War I. This autobiography, published in 1936,
covers all aspects of his career - his student days in Manchester,
arrival in Cambridge, and growing international reputation. It
gives a fascinating picture of Cambridge life and science at a
dynamic period of development.
This 1893 publication is a central text in the work of the Nobel
prize winning physicist Sir Joseph John Thomson (1858 1940).
Intended as an extension of James Clerk Maxwell's Treatise on
Electricity and Magnetism, it documents the important shift in
Thomson's thinking towards the model of the atomic electric field,
a theory that would eventually lead to his discovery of the
electron. In Chapter 1, Thomson documents his experiments with
Faraday tubes, using them to physically demonstrate a 'molecular
theory of electricity'. Chapter 2 considers the discharge of
electricity through gases, Chapter 3 theories of electrostatics,
and Chapters 4 6 are primarily concerned with alternating currents.
In addition to providing crucial insight into Thomson's evolving
theory of the atom, Recent Researches underscores his commitment to
experimental physics, which offers 'all the advantages in vividness
which arise from concrete qualities rather than abstract symbols'.
In his own inimitable style, actor and poker enthusiast John
Thomson takes you step-by-step through one of the world's oldest
forms of gambling, letting you know when to hold 'em and when to
fold 'em!
