The Great Egg Race

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Introduced this year by Heinz Wolff
Staying Aloft
Two hundred years ago yesterday, for the first time ever, a motley assortment of animals took off in a hot-air balloon in France for a short flight.
Not to be outdone, the Egg Race teams attempt to make craft that, even if they cannot carry animals, can at least fly - a bit.
The programme includes a radio-controlled helicopter, a glider, an autogiro, a plane, and recalling that first flight of 1783, a beautiful hot-air balloon.
Helping to get the show off the ground is guest judge
