Eww!The popular science series for kids, QTV will screen again over the summer which will be a great time for your kids to revisit or discover this great new locally made Television series. Producer Glenis Giles was happy with TV2's decision to rescreen QTV -
"Many kids who missed out on the first screening will be able to catch up with competitions and experiments over the summer and still be in to win great prizes."

Image:Qteam Chelsie & Tess explore pests and insects with Dr Shaun Forgie. Eww!Dr Shaun Forgie, entomologist, tells Chelsie and Tess all about the sex life of insects and how they attract each other with 'pheromones' or smells. Charming!

Some pests that have been introduced into the New Zealand ecosystem have had a huge impact on New Zealand flora and fauna - sometimes good and sometimes devastating to the environment. It is the job of entomologists (scientists who study insects), that any species that is introduced will not reproduce out of control affecting especially our native species.

Shaun shows Tess and Chelsie giant bugs and miniscule pests under a microscope. He travels throughout the world studying bugs and has an amazing collection of multicoloured insects beneath the glass - some made into jewellery by women in Africa and others make a protein rich snack for those sojourns in the jungle!

QTV brings you another intelligent television experience, filled with awe and wonder of the land around us and the creatures that used to inhabit it. It helps us understand the importance of preserving our natural landscape and every creature on the earth so that in years to come, people of the future can marvel of what used to be.
