Coincidentally I was watching one of the Royal Institution lectures couple of weeks ago, 'The Periodic Table (With Experiments)' unfortunately as he said 'We can't do experiments with these ones because they're poisonous, we can't do experiments with these ones because they're highly explosive, and we can't do experiments with these ones because they're radioactive'

Years ago - many MANY years ago - as a kid I used to go to the RI Christmas Lectures...

One set was given by Professor Sir George Porter - he was a family friend and as a 12 or something year old, I was an assistant (on TV) in some of the experiments... Not like "Beaker" you understand... Regrettably, some of that footage is still on YouTube...
