Complete episodes of Julius Sumner Miller's 1962–73 Australian science show, archived by ABC — physics demonstrations performed with theatrical intensity decades before Bill Nye made the format famous. Miller treats every experiment as if the answer will change your life, which is an authentic relic of mid-century science communication rather than a performance. The physics is real and the showmanship is genuine.
