Comedian Ben Miller returns to his roots as a physicist to try to answer
a deceptively simple question: what is one degree of temperature? His
quest takes him to the frontiers of current science as he meets
researchers working on the hottest and coldest temperatures in the
universe, and to a lab where he experiences some of the strangest
effects of quantum physics - a place where super-cooled liquids simply
pass through solid glass. Plus, Ben installs his very own Met office
weather station at home. Ben's investigations in this personal and
passionate film highlight the importance of measurement and accuracy in
the 21st century
