| | Brainiac: Science Abuse (2003)Brainiac: Science Abuse (often shortened to simply Brainiac) is a British entertainment TV show with a science motif. Numerous "experiments" are carried out in each show, often looking into whether common conceptions are true (such as if it's possible to run over a pool of custard) or just for the sake of blowing something up. However as it is primarily an entertainment show aimed at a wide range of audiences, the experiments cannot be claimed to be rigorous investigations, and the background science itself is often only lightly touched upon. There have also been past claims that some results were forged. The show centralises along the three main cores of "science" for the key stages in British education including chemistry, physics and to a lesser extent, biology. People who examine and test the experiments on the show are referred to as "Brainiacs", and each episode would finish with the destruction of a caravan.
