When Lightning Strikes

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

In October 2005 Allan MacDiarmid was struck by lightning as he played football near Sudbury in Suffolk. Amazingly, he survived with barely a scratch. Presenter Richard Uridge examines the moments before and after Allan was hit in a bid to gain a better understanding of one of nature's most powerful forces. Plus a look at ball lightning.
