PARENTS can relive their childhood with the hosts of The Curiosity Show, who have reunited in Adelaide for National Science Week.
Dr Rob Morrison and Deane Hutton are celebrating having finally won the rights to their popular children's television series.
The pair will perform tonight at the launch of National Science Week and entertain the public over the weekend at "Science Alive!" with four of their trademark shows.
They will also be selling the DVD 20 things to make and do from The Curiosity Show in the Goyder Pavilion at the Adelaide Showground.
The Curiosity Show ran on Channel 9 for 18 years, from 1972 to 1990.
Many of the show's biggest fans now have their own children, but struggle to find similar activities.
"I don't think there is anything like that now, there hasn't been for a long while," Dr Morrison said.
"It's a pity because kids need to use their hands, to have confidence later in life. If you don't develop the confidence of those skills early, it's quite hard to acquire them later." �
