====== The Secret Life of Machines ======

Terrific BBC series on ordinary machines, and the ways they've changed over time. It's got a real [[diy]] feel, full of hand-made examples and hands-on explanations.

The creator, [[Tim Hunkin]], has uploaded [[ytpl>PLtaR0lZhSyAPLuoSbMA29s3Ry8ZUvKff3|remastered versions with commentary postscripts]].

Tim has also made a follow-up series on his Youtube channel called //[[ytpl>PLtaR0lZhSyANYB0Xxb9OSp47pHuQmj3Ol|The Secret Life of Components]]//.
