Dara O Briain - The Alkali Metals

The Ri caught up with presenter Dara O Briain on the set of Science Club to hear why he is such a fan of the group of elements known as the Alkali Metals. It might have something to do with Group 1's explosive reputation.

Each day in December, we'll publish a new video revealing the elements that really excite and inspire people.
