Liza on Weather

Liza Tarbuck has long been fascinated by the weather and why we all talk about it quite so much. Is it merely a pleasant way to pass the time, or is it now much more important than that? Now we all have weather apps are we self-proclaimed experts or do we in fact understand much less than before? And just how important was the weather to the success of British naval history, explorations, and war?

From applying sun cream to a pig on an inner-city farm, to recreating the experiments of pioneering scientist, Nikola Tesla, Liza's journey of discovery takes her from the hallowed halls of the Greenwich maritime museum to a deserted forest and a session of spiritual enlightenment with an earth mother. Chatting to experts ranging from drumming weatherman Owain Wyn Evans to Met Office meteorologists and maritime history curators, Liza delves into this very British obsession and returns to discuss it further with Harry, Chris, Reginal, Lorraine and Suggs.
