´óÏó´«Ã½

Wallace and Gromit are back on ´óÏó´«Ã½ 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 ´óÏó´«Ã½ 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.

Each episode will feature:

• Wallace's Inventor of the week – from Richmond to Tasmania, we meet some of the world's most unusual inventors, including a sculptor who has fused engineering with art
• Curiosity Corner – We delve into a particularly strange story from the world of invention
• Never Got Off The Drawing Board – Wallace's science reporter Jem Stansfield explains the reason why some inventions never quite succeeded, but may actually be much cleverer than we ever thought
