====== 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]]//.

===== Episodes =====

nbjp **TH** =  Order on [[https://www.timhunkin.com/a243_Secret-Life-of-Machines-intro.htm|Tim Hunkin's website]]. [[tmdb|tmdb]] and [[imdb|imdb]] also uses this, and user says it's based on aired-order they found in TV guides((https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/34712-the-secret-life-of-machines/discuss/5abbce84c3a368435f014c8e)).\\
nbjp **DB** = Database Order. [[tvdb|tvdb]], and [[Wikipedia]] use this.  Not sure where this info. comes from. Might be a bit of a circle jerk of references.\\
nbjp **EXP** = Order based on the [[https://www.exploratorium.edu/ronh/SLOM/|webmaster's page on the Exploratorium website]]. First two seasons are out of wack, but the third is //almost// fine.\\
