    It's fascinating to see the difference in style between Rob and Deane, and how they compliment each other. The storyteller Deane's showmanship is balanced by Rob's soothing matter-of-factness.

    wow. i had forgotten all about this show. i used to love it. it definately created my love for science and the mysterious world of physics. i have to thank you gentlemen with all my heart. you developed the most useful part of my personality. isnt it amazing that two guys with a sheet for a back drop and some pop sticks could do more at educating and inspiring a whole generation of Australians than 12 years of schooling ever could. there are no shows like this today. its all superficial dopemine releasing zombie bulding garbage.

It was made in Adelaide, South Australia and screened nationally in Australia as well as in Europe, Asia and Australasia (14 countries and dubbed in German for Europe) from 1972-1990. Deane and Rob intentionally used everyday items around the house (like old rusty cans) so that people could repeat the demonstrations with materials they had to hand. In 1984 Curiosity Show won the Prix Jeunesse International, the world's top award for TV programs for young people.

    I think, if after tearing the last loop into the long whole one it has a double twist. If you cut it along its long side right at the middle, you should also get two separate circles in the end.
