Prime-time BBC science series sets up home at Sussex. The University of Sussex is the new home to the BBC's popular science series, Bang Goes the Theory . The BBC 1 programme, currently preparing to film its fourth series, is fronted by four presenters (Liz Bonnin, Dallas Campbell, Dr Yan Wong and Jem Stansfield) who put science and technology to the test and place science into an everyday context via some entertaining and unusual experiments. The programme now has a permanent home at the University of Sussex. The production team has been busy this week setting up a studio lab inside a former nuclear physics bunker with 1 metre thick concrete walls which from the 1960s until 2010 housed the University's particle accelerator. The Accelerator Building is also home to Bang's production workshop that was previously based elsewhere in Brighton. The arrival of Bang Goes the Theory on the Sussex campus marks the start of a special collaboration between the University and the BBC.
