Adam Hart-Davis takes a ferry across the Mersey to celebrate the work of the North West's unsung heroes of science.

He relives his childhood love of Meccano, invented by Frank Hornby, before uncovering the work of other innovators, including Arthur Doodson, who perfected a way to predict tides; Alastair Pilkington, who invented a way of producing flawless glass; and Jeremiah Horrocks, who was the first to track the orbit of Venus and revolutionised how we consider the universe.

At 4.30pm on 10 October 1957 a fire was discovered inside Britain's first nuclear reactor at Windscale.
This dramatic reconstruction tells the extraordinary story of how the fire was eventually put out, and unravels the causes behind it. The medical and scientific legacies are still being felt to this day, with the UK Atomic Energy Authority admitting that as many as people may have been fatally affected by the ensuing contamination. Filmed in the original reactor, the last programme in the current series explores the dangers that result from new areas of science being pressured by politics.
