I Didn't Know That is a documentary show presented by British industrial scientists Richard Ambrose and Jonny Phillips. Since 2006, 30 episodes and a DIY Green special have been made. A new series is not expected as National Geographic have made other science progammes.(Planet Mechanics and What Would Happen If...?) In some episodes, they nearly kill themselves in order to prove certain theories or to finish a dangerous experiment. In a certain episode section "Fact of Fiction", the show hosts seem to promote dowsing as an actual science.

Episode 24

Celebrates the 100th Anniversary of the bra. Richard and Jonny uncovers that 80% of women wears the wrong size bra. In particular because chest diameter and maximum breast diameter rather than the volume is measured. Especially when the body is in motion. An English engineer doctor Tyra, has developed an bra design with crossed straps in the back. That uses the weight of one breast to lift the other (counterbalance). Standard designs constricts chest movement during breathing. One of the tools used in the development has been an projective differential shape body analyzer for 40 000 GBP.[1][2]
