0:00:04 > 0:00:08I can't be the only person feeling this cold. Colin, what's going on?
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Ms Hucklebuck won't turn the heating on.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12She says she doesn't feel the cold.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Wee... Weee... Oohhh...

0:00:27 > 0:00:29Positions, everybody!
0:00:29 > 0:00:32'This is Brain Freeze.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35'With Dr Knowles,
0:00:35 > 0:00:38'Professor McCork,
0:00:38 > 0:00:41'Colin, the floor manager
0:00:41 > 0:00:43'and Ms Hucklebuck.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45'STAND BY.'
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Come on, everybody.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51- TOGETHER:- It's time for...
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Today, we're asking, where is the coldest habitable place on earth?
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Humans are most comfortable at temperatures
0:01:00 > 0:01:04between 20 and 26 degrees Celsius, or room temperature.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07We all know that the boiling point of water is 100 degrees
0:01:07 > 0:01:11and its freezing point is zero degrees.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13That's quite a drop.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16But did you know that shampoo freezes at -3 degrees,
0:01:16 > 0:01:21sunflower oil at -17 and mercury at -39?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24And if you thought that was cold, did you know that the lowest
0:01:24 > 0:01:29temperature ever recorded on earth was 93 degrees below zero?
0:01:29 > 0:01:33It's true. This record low was measured in a shallow pocket
0:01:33 > 0:01:36just off a high ridge on the East Antarctic plateau.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- Oh, that sounds like a pretty chilly place to live.- Oh, no.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43It's way too cold for anyone to live there.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46If you exposed your skin, it would freeze in seconds.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Ugh.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50HE SHIVERS
0:01:50 > 0:01:51PENGUIN TOOTS
0:01:51 > 0:01:55To find out about the coldest habitable place on earth,
0:01:55 > 0:01:57join us after this break.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00And we're clear!
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Do you know what? I have to say, Colin, this is a great way
0:02:03 > 0:02:05to keep your hands warm.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07SHE SHIVERS
0:02:07 > 0:02:11What is wrong with everyone here? Do I have to do everything myself?
0:02:11 > 0:02:12ARGH.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Hello?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19HELLO?
0:02:19 > 0:02:23- Yes?- Ms Hucklebuck, I demand that you turn on the heating.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26My legs are about to freeze.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28What's that, dear? You lost your keys?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- No, no.- Your cat's got fleas?- No.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Ah, you want some cheese. Why didn't you say so?
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Cheese?! What the...
0:02:38 > 0:02:40SHE GROANS
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- There we go. - BELL RINGS
0:02:42 > 0:02:43No, what I...
0:02:43 > 0:02:44THUD
0:02:48 > 0:02:52So, tell us, Dr Knowles, where is the coldest habitable place
0:02:52 > 0:02:54on earth? Apart from here, obviously.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59In the past, the two Siberian towns of Oymyakon and Verkhoyansk
0:02:59 > 0:03:04have both measured temperatures of a bone-chilling -67.8 degrees.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07But how would you stay warm there?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- The trick is to dress yourself like an onion.- Like an onion?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13The more thin layers of air you trap between your body
0:03:13 > 0:03:16and the outside, the warmer you will get.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24- I get it, not literally a bulb onion.- No, Professor.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25See you next time, folks.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32SHE SHIVERS
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Hey, Dr Knowles, come here. Look what we finished -
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- you have to see this. - Oh, what is it now?

0:03:40 > 0:03:42THEY LAUGH
0:03:42 > 0:03:44And there's room for one more!
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Oh, go on, then.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- Oh, you're taking up the sleeve. - No, no, stop. I want to go this way.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- I want to go over this way. - Ah, it's these tender moments
0:03:54 > 0:03:56that make it all worthwhile.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57HE FARTS
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Whoops! Maybe that was a bit too tender! Phwoar!
0:04:00 > 0:04:04No, stop. I want to go this way.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06- Don't pull me that way.- Get off!
