The Secret Life of components. A series for designers and makers by Tim Hunkin

Tim Hunkin and Rex Garrod made an amazing educational television series called Secret Life of Machines in the UK from '88 to '93 that many of you may be familiar with. They're all about how different household machines work, in great entertaining detail. I first discovered it on YouTube a few years ago, and it still holds up today. Here's[1] a list of the episodes on his website.

Rex Garrod died a couple of years ago[2], but Tim Hunkin still occasionally puts out short videos on his YouTube channel, mostly about the arcade machines he makes for his two arcades. But he hasn't done any long-form content for a while, which is why I was excited to see that he's made a new series called The Secret Life of Components that he will be releasing on March 4, 2021. The linked video is a trailer for it, and it's made in very much the same style as The Secret Life of Machines.
