We end season 3 with a bang of apocalypse proportions, the hit TV show Chernobyl. What were the consequences of that fateful day in 1986? How accurate was the portrayal of the nuclear disaster in the TV show Chernobyl? And what has that got to do with bees, bras and bananas?
The atom is a humbling thing. We investigate the impact of the explosion of the local environment, both then and now and debunk common myths about radioactivity.
Did you know mould found at the Chernobyl reactor site has been taken to the International Space Station? Or that bananas are radioactive? Find out more in our explosive season finale.
Oh and by the way, if you are thinking one of those bras might come in handy you can buy them here: EBbra
