This comes as it ordered three new series, The Edge of Science from BBC Studios, virtual reality history format Virtually History from Endemol Shine’s Remarkable TV and a partnership with educational organization The School of Life. The Edge of Life, which is BBC Studios first original YouTube commission, stars British presenter Rick Edwards, who hosts a popular science podcast, and YouTube stuntman, inventor and filmmaker Colin Furze. It will see Furze and other passionate YouTube science creators team up with Edwards to put the most ‘out there’ ideas in science to the test, with a range of stunts and experiments to explore if it’s really possible to levitate.
