I think that Tim raises a really valid point. I have done stand up comedy and one of the first things that I learned was to make them laugh in the first six seconds. If you did this, they would listen to your entire routine happily. If you use this first episode to grab their attention and leave them wanting to know more, you will get even more people watching the second and third video because you have them hooked.
When Tim says think 'Mythbusters' it is important. It is a show that has a huge following and is successful because it emphasises a lot of the points that he outlined. They have explosions and fire and don't get bogged down with the schematics of what they do. In short, it is enjoyable to watch even if you know nothing about science. And if you do know lots about science you still enjoy it because you can fill in the blanks yourself.

@tim.ford i feel like that's missing the point somewhat, examples of the technology are good but i also don't want to risk sensationalizing itattracted new people would be nice but the priority is educating beginners wanting to get involved
