A series celebrating the role of engineering in modern society. The Fix. The wings on supersonic F- 18 aircraft are glued to the fuselage. Dzus fasteners unlock the skin of a Formula 1 car in 6.9 seconds.
There are nuts that will never undo, screws that won't come out, bolts that expand, airtight zippers and dissolving stitches. Tonight's programme unzips the mystery of fastenings. Director Hugh Whitworth
A Uden production for BBCtv
