The Double Helix: late night science and grooves
8 February 2006

On tonight's show we started a musical tour of the world in the style of Latourex. Described affectionately by some commentators as "formalised pratting-about", the Latourex movement is about devising experiments in tourism. The Helix loves experiments; the Helix loves the world. Thus was born the musical theme for this show and the one to follow.
