About this show
So much science, so little time. Doktor Kaboom is back with all his favourite, fun-packed science experiments, but there's too many for one show. The solution: The Wheel of Science! Spin the wheel, wherever it stops, that happens next! Will we fly across the stage on a homemade hovercraft, create a gigantic chemical reaction, or catapult bananas across stage? No two shows are the same, so step right up and let's spin that wheel! Back for a fifth year, don't miss this spectacular hour of 'perfect family entertainment' (POWShowbiz.com).
