In This Episode: 1:03 "Holographic Dentistry" Chris Ardell-Guiness shows us one the 80s favourite technologies, dentistry. 8:15 "Fuel Efficiency" Iain Finlay reports on some super fuel efficient, super uncomfortable car designs. 15:30 "Solar Powered Radio Station" Carmel Travis reports from Brian, Ohio on a radio station powered by the sun. Apparently they didn't have a graveyard shift. WARNING: This story contains some questionable synthetic country music. 22:03 "Rockwell B1-B" Jeff Watson reports from Palmdale, California on the successor to the B-52 bomber. 29:15 "Home Banking" Iain and Chris explain how to use a personal computer and a mo-dem to allow criminals to access your bank accounts.

And you thought they made cars! 40:45 "Bio-treatment septic tanks" Iain allows us to glimpse a futuristic septic tank in Sydney Australia. Not sure why these didn't take off - perhaps too many valves?
