"BBC Earth is home to BBC's world-renowned natural history, science and adventure content. We wanted to do something fast-paced, fun and informative that would be specifically relevant to our audiences in Asia. Got Science? fits the bill. The series explores science around everyday things we see on the Internet to things our mothers told us, like don't' drink alcohol after eating Durian, all told by Harith in his signature comedic style. I am very excited to see people's reaction to the show when it airs on September 11" said Ryan Shiotani, VP, Content, Asia, BBC Studios.

Speaking at the events, Mr Harith Iskander said that " Science was never his favourite subject in school". "So initially I was quite apprehensive when BBC approached me to host Got Science?. I never quite understood the complex scientific theories and formulae the teachers rattled on about in school. I realise now that it wasn't interesting to me because it wasn't relevant to my daily life. Got Science? approaches science in a way that is fresh, fun and accessible. I hope that viewers will enjoy it and have many light bulb moments as I did".

Got Science? will premiere on BBC Earth on Tuesday 11 September 2018 at 8.05pm and will be available on BBC player at the same time.
