Hyperbola hears that the British Broadcasting Corporation has been in the USA filming for a new series of the science and technology programme Tomorrow's World that was a feature of UK television from the 1960s to 2003
Tomorrow's World will apparently, after numerous reports of its resurrection, return with one episode reporting on the "New Space" industry, those small and medium sized enterprises in the US that believe they can deliver a commercial space programme for tourism, crew and cargo transport that costs a fraction of NASA's plans
One hopes that New Space doesn't fall foul of what became known as the Curse of Tomorrow's World where inventions it reported on were never seen again
The only regular science and technology programme on UK television for almost 40-years the BBC cancelled it after its viewership dropped to about 8 million, the same number that the broadcaster's "hit" tv show Dr Who now gets
Unfortunately Hyperbola also has to report that someone called Dallas is presenting the new series...

Hah! I remember the first programs with dear old Raymond Baxter - dates ME doesn't it - The only thing which sticks in my mind from then is MAGLEV. I think you should have said any British invention disappears...in Britain! To surface elsewhere and be sold back to us!
