Programme 1: This programme looks at two amazing structures, the Millennium Bridge in London and the Falkirk Wheel in Scotland. Both used new revolutionary designs that had been tested using the latest technology, but one went to plan and the other didn’t!

Programme 2: This programme looks at two automotive projects that show how important it is for designers to work with well proven standard car parts, yet still emerge with completely different products.

Programme 3: Why is it that when footballers are heading the ball they are missing the goal more today than in previous decades? Vaughan Lovelock asked himself these questions so many times that he decided to design a head band to improve heading accuracy.

Programme 4: Today’s roller coasters are designed and tested in virtual worlds before being built. However, when they are built they must work safely first time, as there is no room to modify the ride after it has been built.

Programme 5: The programme follows two people as they have new artificial limbs fitted and shows how they adjust to the changes they bring to their lives.
