FAQ - Frequently asked questions

about Suzy's World


What is Suzy's World? 
Suzy’s World is a programme we made for school kids answering all the questions that kids want to know about the world around them and their amazing bodies. 

How many Suzy's World programmes have you made? 
We made 263 Suzy’s World programmes over the 4 years that Suzy’s World was in production. 

Which one was your favourite?
The second programme we ever made,  the Digestion programme about baked beans, is pretty cool!

Why did you start making Suzy's World?
We started Suzy’s World because there were all these questions that kids wanted answered
– and they were questions that we’d wanted answered when we were kids.  We thought we could have lots of fun answering them and we were right it was such a cool job.

How do you know all the things you tell us? 
I was very lucky to have a great team of people helping me make Suzy’s World.  We had to read a lot of books, surf the internet and talk to lots of very knowledgeable people like teachers and education advisors to get all the facts, figures and experiments for our programmes.

Where do you get all your cool experiments?
We get all the cool experiments and investigations from books, teachers and science advisors.

Why do you have all the mistakes at the end of the programme? 
Well for a start they’re normally pretty funny! But it’s also a chance for us to show you that people on TV are human and they make mistakes just like everyone else.  It also shows you that if you keep on trying you’ll eventually get it right (thank goodness ;o)

Is it tiring doing all those "takes"?
Sometimes making mistakes at the end of a long day can be tiring.  Especially if it’s really cold or really hot and the mistakes are holding us up from moving to the next place or going home.  But at least we all laugh instead of being grumpy!
