The inventors help a photographer who can no longer use his hands to operate a camera.

The UK's leading inventors build life-changing solutions for people in desperate need. The inventors help a photographer who can no longer use his hands to operate a camera.

The team of inventors are challenged to come up with solutions for three very different problems.

They attempt to help a terminally ill photographer who can no longer use his hands to operate a camera. They try to bring cutting-edge communication to a remote Welsh village which has no internet access and an unreliable telephone connection. And they work to give some control back to a young designer who has Parkinson's disease and who has been unable to use a pen since developing tremors in her hands two years ago.
