I'd be inclined to amalgamate the Tina Turner/Diana Ross bits and maybe put all the comparisons under one sub-header, just to make it more manageable.
I do think you need to mention the fact that it is mostly about entertainment with a bit of science thrown in.
Please don't give up on this one ... as I said earlier it's one of our favourite shows.

Did that change not go through?

It should have gone through there.

It seems to be through now.
The only other thing I meant to mention was that all black boxes are yellow .... this is so they can be found in burnt out wreckage and the like, supposedly the yellow is easier to spot than black under water or in dispersed wreckage.
.... and for ease of loading ...

"Okay, sot that's a little misleading."
"Okay, so that's a little misleading."

Random comments:
"They had Quinten Hann pot the last six balls in an ordinary game of snooker."
Was I the only one who didn't know until I googled him who Quinten Hann was?
"This was followed up by Brainiac Golf."
What's that like?
I don't really like that some experiments are faked, but the show looks like a lot of fun, and is bound to popularize science.

Like the intro.
Sounds like an interesting show.
>>So they came up with another theory, which was if nylon clothes would do it.
- Um, something wrong with the sentence there. "Which was that nylon clothes would do it."
>> But they had to make sure, they fitted shopping carts with CO2, water, and foam ones and raced the carts.
- "But they had to make sure, SO they fitted..."
Sounds like that must have been fun to watch.
>>I.E. it could travel in a straight line)
ie not IE or I.E. or i.e. (house style)
>>Fat v Thin was the essentially the same concept except, that's right, it was a very fat person against a very skinny person. Situations include surviving in a heat wave, being in a blizzard1, and staying afloat.
- so who died in the heat wave and how did they get them to agree to stand out in a blizzard and for how long?

Any progress with this, Cdm? Could still stand to be shortened. Maybe more preamble? Seems to jump right in.

Okay, I just deleted some material on things that didn't have much to begin with. That should shorten it up a bit.

This is a TV programme, right?
Richard Hammond, I could have sworn we had an EGE on him.

<<The cesium experiment? As stated by a crew member as to what happened: Absolutely bloody nothing. The density of caesium>>
Is it cesium or caesium?

<<During the next series, they decided to see if a specially-made vehicle designed to be powered by CO2 against the wheelchair.>>
Do you mean "would fare against"?
