CBBC - One Minute Wonders, Episode 7

Blink and Missit discover that you will never see a crocodile lick a lolly.

A look at the amazing things happening each minute. Blink and Missit discover you will never see a crocodile lick a lolly, and that red blood cells live a lifetime in 120 days.

The team discover that you will never see a crocodile lick a lolly, and that if you want to make them a really quick cuppa instead, you had better pop up a volcano! 

Blink and Missit show that at any one time there are an average of five people living in the International Space Station, that red blood cells live a lifetime in only 120 days, and a professional memory master only needs a minute to remember the order of an entire pack of cards.

If people were fish, then five times the UK population would be caught every minute, which is great if you like eating fish! But if you find yourself eating Old Woman's Hair then do not panic, as it is just another name for candy floss. 

The next minute is yours; what are you going to do with it?
