Joining me today: he reads books y'know, it's Chris Joel.

Everybody's favourite Gary Brannan, Gary Brannan.

to Noel Edmonds' secret underground bunker...

And the bounciest man on the internet, Matt Gray!

Today's show is sponsored by the word cuneiform.

In front of me I have an article from Wikipedia and these folks can't see it.

Every fact they get right is a a point, and a...

Can we just take a minute to acknowledge  how good that siren noise was?!

In front of me I've got an article from  Wikipedia and these folks can't see it.

Every fact they get right is a a point, and a ding [DING].

And there's a special prize for particularly good answers which is:

You will put your back out doing that at some point, Gary.

And today we are talking about Thomas Midgley Jr.

It'll be under early life. I'm pretty sure.

It's not! It just said where he was born. Which was the town of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania.

- That's a better joke than I was thinking about. - Pennsylvania, you're it this week!

Either that, or it's a town at the bottom of a cliff.

Above it is a large woodland.  With a very heavily disguised edge of cliff.

That's my impression of a beaver, by the way.

I don't know what noise they make  when they hit the ground, I've never seen it.

Yeah. Grew up in Ohio, then. And went to Cornell University with a degree in mechanical engineering.

His father was an inventor and he was an inventor and he made, I think a... great change to the world.

Although it might not have been for the better.

Why would you need an automatic French horn, Gary?

To save you having the trouble of playing a French horn, dickhead!

You've got player pianos, why not player French horns?

Come on. It's the general trend towards playerisation of the entire orchestra.

It's just a kettle with the drum attached to it and steam...

"That's not quite what we had in mind.  But useful in the morning!"

"But I do have hot water for tea now, so that's good."

Tom, are you asking us of all the things that could  have been invented in the 1900s

I was hoping that you might hit on something I could move towards it. But no...

...since you went with automatic French horn and ivory harvesting machine, no! Nothing like that.

Let me see if I can narrow this down a bit. He was working at Dayton Research Laboratories.

...which are a subdivision of General Motors.

So what would he be working on,  in about 1920? This is December 1921.

No, no, but you are technically closer. It's something to do with how cars are powered.

Wait. What film is that? I remember that.

All I remember is someone pulling a lever and the flags of all nations popping out of the top of it.

If you want a serious one, did you hear about Supertrain?

This was a massive flop for NBC, in the US.

It was one of the worst, one of the most expensive and greatest television failures of all time.

This sounds like it should be in  my DVD collection already.

Would you explain the Love Boat for our viewers?

The Love Boat was a serial. I think it was probably weekly or something. Where you have a cruise liner.

A boat went around, trying to shag other boats.

My God! The one with the oil tanker!  You should have seen that one.
