Introduction

For a while it had been speculated after the brilliant performance of series 1 and 2 whether they should have a Eureka Day. Originally it was planned to be Wednesday with the new episodes but due to the availability of presenters it was changed to Mondays. Then the changed the name from Eureka Day to Eureka Mondays. Kate was first planned to do the whole thing herself as she was the longest serving presenter, but then they decided to split it.

Series 1 (2001-2002)

The first series aired on 24 October 2001 and it went over, having taken a break for Christmas, into January 2002. This series was presented by Kate Heavoner and Fearne Cotton. This series had all of the features above except for Paper and Micro Eureka. The presenters didn't miss any episodes.

Series 2 (2003)

This series was the second which aired midway through 2003, it was put off an extra few months than intended because of the new science show X-perimental which was presented by Ortis Deley and Holly Willoughby. In this series Fearne missed one episode and was filled in by Sophie McDonnell and Kate missed no episodes. Also in this series there was the addition of paper and micro eureka.

Series 3 (2004-2005)

This was the final series, which was presented by Mohini Sule and Kate Heavoner. Also in this series, we saw the addition of Eureka Mondays which would take place on both BBC One and BBC Two. This was presented by Monhini Sule and Sophie McDonnell in the morning and Kate Heavoner along with Angellica Bell and Andrew Hayden Smith in the afternoons. All the same features remained in this series as in the series before. Mohini missed no episodes and no Eureka Mondays, Kate missed no episodes and three Eureka Mondays.
