We think that the 1980s are the time to nurture the buds of technologies that will blossom in the 21st century.
(KEUCHI KONAGA. MITI)
Japan might have efficient industry, good design, commercial acumen and strong consensus about national goals, but her success is built on the basic scientific findings of researchers in the West. Any truth in this cliche is soon likely to disappear, for there is a new consensus - that Japan must enter the 21st century on the shoulders of science. In the first of two documentaries, Professor Colin Blakemore considers the obstacles facing Japanese plans to foster fundamental research. Producer GEOFF DEEHAN
