Bun puts on banging show

TOM Pringle, aka Dr Bunhead, was demonstrating one of his pyrotechnic tricks in the Capital prior to his show at the George Square Lecture Theatre.

The extreme scientist has brought his own unique brand of explosive learning to the Edinburgh International Science Festival, and this year his aim is to investigate the science of bangs, burps and whooshy bits.

Dr Bunhead will be taking to the stage for his last show tonight and, as always, the audience is likely to get involved, with volunteers helping to launch rockets, blow up Barbie and detonate Sponge Bob Rectangle Pants.

The science festival runs until Sunday, April 15.
