- fake-name 4y agoTim Hunkin (the man behind these arcades) also did an excellent video series called "The secret life of machines" for the BBC in the 80s. It was recently remastered, and is now up on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJlrbMHLBd4&list=PLtaR0lZhSyAPLuoSbMA29s3Ry8ZUvKff3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJlrbMHLBd4&list=PLtaR0lZhSy... (All three seasons!) I cannot recommend it strongly enough.

- ButterWashed 4y agoThanks! I hadn't heard of that show before, having watched the first episode you can tell it's from the era of Tomorrows World and the legendary Johnny Ball!
- simonw 4y agoIf you live in (or ever visit London) and you've not been to this place yet, you have SUCH a treat in store. Cannot recommend this highly enough.
