That’s good to hear. But the series as a whole has evaporated - replaced by these sporadic “specials”. Just look at the contrast… only one programme last year.

This crazy #mineral (abhurite) occurs exclusively on tin ingots in shipwrecks!! 😮
It’s formed by the chemical reaction between tin & seawater.
This SEM image from @amgueddfacymru.bsky.social shows tin ingots coated with abhurite from the SS Liverpool, which sank off the coast of Anglesey in 1863.
