This morning I logged-in to the first lecture by Screen Skills "Commentary writing with Patrick Uden". Nice to reconnect with other human beings again. Xx

Tony takes us on a romp across the world of machines built for their muscle power. Each story is introduced by Tony from his underground studio with funny, scripted skits. In his basement Tony demonstrates complicated engineering concepts with ludicrous experiments that should teach the audience something and utterly bewilder them in equal measure. In this episode he shows us what makes polyester a mighty material, and how a mountain-conquering machine defeats gravity.
