In 70 countries around the world we change the time twice a year, giving us longer evenings in summer.

Why did we start doing this? Why do some people love it, others hate it, and will we ever stop doing it altogether?

• Early ideas about timekeeping • Romans & hours that were longer or shorter than 60 minutes • When every town had its own time zone • The invention of standard time zones • The Earth's tilt and the reason days are longer and shorter by season • The proposals to create Daylight Saving Time: collecting insects & playing golf • Starting to use Daylight Saving Time • Daylight Saving Time in the 20th century • Reasons to keep Daylight Saving Time: wellbeing, reducing crime, reducing accidents, businesses that benefit from it • Reasons to get rid of Daylight Saving Time: doesn't save energy, it's annoying to change, lost productivity, health disadvantages, businesses that don't like it • Farmers in the north of Scotland • When the UK kept Daylight Saving Time all year round • Complications with Daylight Saving Time when communicating between time zones • Getting rid of Daylight Saving Time? • Changing the clocks twice a year at the Queen's residences
