One Minute Wonders Season 1 Full Episode Guide
Find out how many planes take off from Heathrow every minute, how many active volcanoes there are, and many more.
Human hair is incredibly strong - a single strand is strong enough to lift 100 grams, so imagine what a whole headful could lift! Well, you don't need to - as Blink and Missit show you! Discover that a wondrous 10 million pounds gets withdrawn from cash machines every minute, and there is even one in Antarctica.

We reveal that the Queen receives a letter every eight minutes and, speaking of minutes, we find out that not all of them are 60 seconds long.
