How Do They Do That?

Overview

How do they do that? is a British television show, produced by Reg Grundy Productions and broadcast on BBC1 from 1994 to 1997. Originally presented by Jenny Hull and Des Lynam, it explored feats of engineering, organization, and special effects. Each season opened with a stunt apparently performed by one of the presenters, such as a skydiver crash-landing into the studio, a car chase, or the entire studio being washed away. After two series, Eamonn Holmes took over as male presenter, and from Series 5 was joined by Esther McVey. At its height, How do they do that? had 12 million viewers watching on Wednesday nights.
