The Inventors: Why Didn't I Think of That?

Harold Williamson meets inventors who have spent years trying to convince manufacturers of the value of their products, while Nick Ross looks at the financial implications.

Inventions are increasingly coming from research teams in large industrial firms, though there are still a few lone inventors out there. But does Britain care enough to encourage and back them with private or public funds? Harold Williamson meets inventors who have spent years trying to convince manufacturers, while Nick Ross talks to financiers and industrialists about the problems inventors face in the commercial world.
