About Whizz Whizz Bang Bang

This show was a special version of a New Zealand series. That show was called Let's Get Inventin. Whizz Whizz Bang Bang brought the same fun idea to the UK. It showed how cool science and engineering can be.

How the Show Worked

The show was hosted by Greg Foot. Each episode featured a different child. This child had a cool idea for an invention. Then, a team of experts helped to build it. They worked hard to make the ideas real.

Sometimes, the inventions had to be changed a little. This made them more practical to build. Most of the time, the team was very successful! They turned big ideas into real working machines.

Amazing Inventions

The show featured many creative inventions. Kids came up with all sorts of ideas. The team then tried to bring them to life.

Some of the cool inventions included:

  • A hover scooter, which could float above the ground.
  • A special off-road wheelchair that used hydraulics.
  • A basketball launcher to help practice shots.
  • A jet engine bed, which sounds super fast!
  • An Air Guitar, letting you play music without a real guitar.

These inventions showed what's possible with imagination. They also showed how science and engineering work.
