Gavin Scott reports for "Horizon" on what happens to the £4 billion of our money that British scientists spend every year. It asks why when Britain wins more Nobel prizes than almost anyone else, our scientists aren't providing industry with the flow of ideas that is needed to keep our factories in business and people in work.

It looks at the way so much of Britain's scientific effort goes into 'big science': expensive prestigious projects like radio telescopes and nuclear physics. It looks at the financial squeeze on the science and technology departments of our universities, and on wealth-producing sciences like biotechnology. And it asks: can we afford to spend nearly 60 per cent of the money we have available for science on military research?
