Episode 2
Brilliantly stupid scientists seek cash - and develop a thought-powered gun. Stars Anthony Head and Miriam Margolyes. From 2014.
Professor Saunders hopes to persuade his elderly aunt to leave her fortune to science.
Meanwhile, his team develop a gun powered simply by thought, but no one succeeds in thinking very well.
This is Clayton Grange, top secret Scientific Institute with a government brief to solve the global fuel crisis, cheer people up and make war just a bit more gentle.
Meet the scientists who are a bit rubbish at life. And not much better at science.
Anthony Head leads the team thinking the unthinkable.
Comedy by Neil Warhurst with additional material by Paul Barnhill.
