The Go-Kart has always been a great favourite with children but not so popular with adults, who have to spend hours dragging them around the lawn.
Richard Blizzard has designed a self-propelled go-kart - once you've made this, you can enjoy a prolonged armchair pit stop, while the youngsters race around the chicanes of the flowerbeds under their own steam.

The Forgotten People
'There's no other place to go - you 71 settle down any place, as long as you're getting left there. '
VIOLET GILHEANEY
The Gilheaney Family belong to a community of travellers living on an 'illegal "gypsy" site' in the Swansea area. Since 1968, the council has been required by law to provide official sites, but in south west Glamorgan there are none.
The Gilheaneys live on the side of a road, without any of the facilities normally taken for granted - refuse collection, hot and cold running water, toilets. The local schools have refused to educate their children and when their pitch is not flooded, they are overrun with rats.
Two years ago, they took the council to court and won, but still they wait and hope for a decent place to live.
It's not us leading an outlaw life ... it's the council and education authority who are the outlaws. PETER GILHEANEY Cameraman JOHN RHODES Film editor DENISE PERRIN
Series producer PETER LEE-WRIGHT Producer PAUL PIERROT
Open Space is the series where the public can make programmes under their own editorial control helped by the Community Programme Unit

Double or Quits
Harry Fitzgibbons ran counter-insurgency operations in Central America. Now he manages one of London's most successful risk investment funds. The last company he took public on a booming stock exchange made him a millionaire three times over. Ben Rosen and L. J. Sevin put two million dollars into Compaq Computers when it was no more than an idea on the back of an envelope. It made them 100 million dollars. They are the venture capitalists, alchemists who can turn business opportunities into gold - at a price. 'Euthanasia,' says Ben Rosen , 'lives in the venture community.'
In the aftermath of the stock market crash, Will Hutton looks back at the rise of these risk investors, at the prices paid and the prizes won. Producer MARIE THOMAS
