In Fukushima, there were mutant butterflies off the back of the radiation that were super-strength butterflies as well. The take-home message is not that give a load of radiation to butterflies is good.

Other times Fukushima came up

  1. Did you say you were in Japan recently? I was in Japan, yeah, filming. I was in Tokyo, but the good bit, I got to go inside of the exclusion zone in Fukushima, which was wild. The whole place is extraordinary. There were these buildings, there was one sort of town hall that we went to and the doors are locked, but inside you can just see everybody's slippers and there was like a kid's toy on the floor and then, you know, like beer bottles, right?
