You gotta see this - Teachers T.V.

Teachers T.V. (this link takes you to the science content) is operated by an independent media U.K. consortium, Education Digital, which was selected by the DfES (now the Department for Children, Schools and Families) in 2004 after an extensive tender process.
Teachers TV is the digital channel for everyone who works in schools. Our programmes cover every subject in the curriculum, all key stages and every professional role – from teaching assistant to headteacher. You can watch us on digital cable and satellite and programmes are also available anytime, on-demand and for free on this website.
We have 15-minute CPD offerings packed with useful information, exciting pupil programmes for use in class, and a daily education news summary. There are ongoing series such as Teaching with Bayley and Inspirations and award-winning documentaries on everything from global citizenship to education practice in other countries.
Regular specialist hours cater to new teachers, governors and other specialist audiences, and core curriculum hours cover primary and secondary maths, English, science and ICT. Themed seasons such as Behaviour Matters and Lessons from America showcase a range of programmes focusing on a central issue or topic. And all that's just for starters.
