Martin is a DJ at the world famous Kiss 100 who also happens to be a published science and technology expert with a degree in Physics with Theoretical Physics from Imperial College London. He’s also developed his own software to turn the Nintendo Wii controller into a DJ tool enabling him to play, mix and muck about with tunes just by waving his arms around.
Greg is a television presenter with a Natural Sciences degree from Cambridge University. He presented the children’s science/invention series ‘Whizz Whizz Bang Bang’ on BBC1 making such crazy inventions as an underwater canoe, hover-board, robotic horse and a jet engine bed driven by The Stig! He’s performed big explosive experiments on ‘Richard & Judy’, been seen talking genetics on Channel 4, and was recently the resident science expert on ‘KnowItAlls’, a new quiz series on BBC2.
