#16 Inventions

This week we're taking a look at great (and not so great) inventions through the ages. We've got the Player Piano (that piano that looks like it's being played by a ghost), Tamagotchi (the virtual pet that was huge in the 90s) and the Paternoster Lift (that constantly revolving lift that looks absolutely terrifying). Plus there's naturally a mention for Sir Clive Sinclair. And there's so many features for you to email us about: Interesting relatives? Prove an interesting fact to someone in 500AD?
