As a kid this was one of my favourite programs ever, but I could never figure out when it was on and only ever seemed to catch bits of it here and there.

There is also a "Secret Life of the Home" interactive exhibit in the London Science Museum, also made by Tim Hunkin: https://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/learning/secret-life-home-s...

He has two amusement arcades filled with his own interactive machines, "The Under the Pier Show" in Southwold https://www.underthepier.com/ and "Novelty Automation" in central London https://www.novelty-automation.com/

He talks about making some of the machines in his "Secret Life of Components" series on YouTube.

Novelty Automation is one of London's best hidden gems: if you ever have the chance to go and visit I cannot recommend it enough.

That was one of my favorite exhibits at the London Science Museum - a place full of great stuff.
