This is OK, but definitely inferior to The Mystery of Matter overall because it is much more interesting to watch period reenactments than Jim Al-Khalili going places. But the latter also has its value.

His documentary style is mostly "travel to places" and "show equations without explaining them". But there is some value to that as well.

Counting ducks by Keyi

Lyrics:
门前大桥下
In front of the door, under the bridge
游过一群鸭
a group of ducks swam by
快来快来数一数
Quickly come count them
二四六七八
Two, four, six, seven, eight
咕嘎咕嘎
Quack, quack, quack
真呀真多呀
There's really a lot of them
数不清到底多少鸭
I can't count exactly how many ducks there are
赶鸭老爷爷
Old man herding ducks (The documentary Most Dangerous Ways To School - Vietnam for example shows a fantastic example of a person herding ducks on a river in Vietnam)
胡子白花花
with a shinning white beard
唱呀唱着家乡戏
He sings his hometown opera (TODO this deserves further invetigation and examples)
还会说笑话
and he can also tell jokes
小孩,小孩
Children, children
快快上学校
quickly go to school
别考个鸭蛋抱回家
Don't go home with zero points in your exam. (Lit. "Don't bring a duck's egg home", an expression that means to have zero score at an exam, and which here fits in perfectly with the theme of the song.)
