Science is about to get a messy, hilarious makeover as Horrible Science bursts onto CBBC and BBC iPlayer from 9 May 2025. Brought to life by the award-winning team behind Horrible Histories, this new comedy sketch series promises a riotous mix of silly songs, outrageous parodies, mind-boggling facts and star-studded guest appearances from names like Fred Sirieix, TikTok scientist Big Manny, Gladiator Steel and Judge Rinder.
Mixing madcap comedy with real science, Horrible Science dives into everything from ferocious forces and deadly dinosaurs to gnarly nanotech and spectacular space. The 10-part series introduces young viewers to famous figures like Sir Isaac Newton, Marie Curie and Albert Einstein, while also adding new faces such as puppet host Pipette and characters like Dr Big Brain and the Force Force. True to its 'Horrible' roots, expect laugh-out-loud moments combined with proper curriculum-linked science learning.
The fun does not stop with the TV show. For the first time, Horrible Science is launching alongside educational resources on BBC Bitesize Primary, with 25 sketches and songs supporting the KS2 curriculum. These resources aim to make homework and classroom learning genuinely exciting. Plus, young fans can join a new science-themed adventure within the BBC Wonder Chase Roblox game, featuring none other than Isaac Newton himself.
Directed by Lion Television, and inspired by Nick Arnold’s bestselling book series, Horrible Science is set to bring a new wave of laughter, learning and slightly revolting experiments to screens across the UK. Patricia Hidalgo, Director of BBC Children’s and Education, says the goal is simple: to make it easier than ever for parents and teachers to weave entertainment into education. In short, science homework just got a whole lot more fun.
