Yeah, sure, lots of us go to the beach to get a tan but what if the tan was less "St. Tropez" and more "Readybrek glow"?
Neil has persuaded Dr Jamie Gallagher, a brilliant science communicator and expert in the Periodic Table to tell us the story of the UK's only radioactive beach.
If that wasn't enough the lads then delve into exactly which element was used as a "family laxative" and and ask the question "is that as bad as it sounds?"
SPOILER ALERT: IT IS.
