The domestic fridge features on this BBC programme including lots of useful history, manufacturing and refrigerant information. Whilst it mainly focuses on domestic fridges it also has an interview with Lisa-Jayne Cook as President of the Institute of Refrigeration taking BBC presenter Hannah Fry through a very chilly looking cold store. Don't miss the presenter visiting "fridge school" to take apart a fridge under expert supervision of the teachers. Great PR for the industry!
