Wallace and Gromit are back on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One, going crackers about inventing.
Each week the lovable pair will take viewers around the world to meet the world's most unusual inventors, discover the secrets of the inventions that power the world around us and look forward to the inventions of tomorrow.
From inventions that help around the home to the mind-boggling world of space travel, Wallace uncovers some of the most ground-breaking contraptions of our time, investigating why some ideas never quite got off the drawing board and delving into the stories behind many inspiring inventions from across the globe. And with the help of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ One presenter Jem Stansfield (recent inventor of vacuum powered gloves and the nifty coffee-powered car), they discover just how crackers inventors really can be.
