If you’ve woken up this morning thinking and it's earlier than you thought, that’s because daylight saving has officially ended!

It’s one of two times during the year that clocks change - but why does it actually exist? And how did it start?

Today we are going to explain why we actually have daylight saving - and answer the questions you’ve probably thought about, but never known the answers to.

Hosts: Zara Seidler and Billi FitzSimons
Producer: Orla Maher
