Each episode in ''The Periodic Table of Videos'' explores and examines a single element from (what else?) the Periodic Table. The viewer learns about the element's history and properties (and occasionally, the viewer gets to see that element blown up in a spectacular fashion.) From time to time, the scientists will slip in a video discussing other science-related content; a visit to a famous site related to the history of chemistry, or a discussion of the science behind notable current events, to name a few examples. And sometimes they'll just blow crap up [[strike:because it's cool]] ForScience! As of this date, they've explored all 118 known elements of the periodic table and have moved on to exploring various molecular compounds. The series has led to several spin-offs, including ''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/numberphile Numberphile]]'' for mathematics and ''[[https://www.youtube.com/user/Computerphile Computerphile]]'' for computer science

* RealLifeRelative: Professor Sir Martyn Poliakoff is the older brother of playwright and director Stephen Poliakoff.

* {{Adorkable}}: Pretty much the entire cast, but Pete and Debbie especially.
