Tickle received a 3rd class physics degree from the
University of Leicester. He has gone on to co-present
Brainiac: Science Abuse, a series of science-based shows on the UK television station
Sky One. He was the only presenter to appear in all six seasons of the show. Tickle has had many ideas and one of his most famous is the "time-delay toaster". "What's the problem with
toast? Two slices pop up, you whip one out, and spread some
margarine on it. But by the time you get the second, the consistency has changed. Why not have a
time delay?" He is also known for the segment 'Tickle's Teaser', where he asks the viewer a tough scientific question. ==References==
