Synopsis
A kind of Best Inventions... Goes Large. In the run-up to the series, the public were asked to send in their innovative product design ideas. Three were selected to feature in the programme proper, which was mostly a fly-on-the-wall series following the Clever Things through all the stages of getting from a paper design to a marketable product. At the end there was a live final in which the public (that's you) voted for their favourite product, which would receive a £10,000 development grant from the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA). The three products were a collapsible pedal-bin, leakproof swimming goggles and some kind of futuristic pen-type thing, probably a pen.
Champions
Duncan Green and Helen O'Driscoll with the collapsible, dishwasher-safe "Yukka Bin". The bin has since gone on sale at John Lewis stores.
