How Do They Do It? is a television series produced by Wag TV for Discovery Channel. Each programme explores how 2 or 3 ordinary objects are made and used. The show's slogan is "Behind the ordinary is the extraordinary." The series is broadcast throughout the world on various Discovery-owned networks including:

  • Discovery Channel, Science Channel, DMAX and Quest in the United Kingdom;
  • Science Channel in the United States;
  • Discovery Channel in Asia, Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Spain, Switzerland, and the Netherlands;
  • Discovery Channel and Discovery Science in Italy.

Series 1 and 2, which were co-produced with Rocket Surgery Productions, were narrated by Rupert Degas; series 3 and 4 were narrated by Iain Lee; and series 5 and 6 were narrated by Dominic Frisby. In 2008, the UK's Channel 5 began airing the series, presented by Robert Llewellyn. This version was released on DVD in the UK in May 2010.[1]

In the United States, the series airs on the Science Channel and is narrated by Chris Broyles.

This programme is similar to the popular Canadian-produced documentary programme, How It's Made, also broadcast on Discovery Channel networks.
