Let us travel back almost exactly 45 years to a time when "Boomer" was a cool name and "Starbuck" had nothing to do with coffee. Battlestar Galactica has just been released in UK cinemas, so surely the team at Tomorrow's World will pull out all the stops to make sure their small screen science fact is as exciting as the big screen science fiction?
Hmmm. Well, maybe not.
There's a certain sense that things aren't firing on all cylinders this episode, with segments on a robot lawnmower built by sixth formers, a new type of fire alarm, monorails, red spider mites, babies learning maths, and the longest, beigest report on oil rig corrosion we have ever seen. Kieran Prendiville and Michael Rodd do most of the heavy lifting, while Judith Hann stays slumped in an armchair with chronic jetlag.
