Philippa Forrester was a presenter around 1993/4. I admittedly lost interest in the show
after she left as it had become more about medical advances and less about electronics by
then.
It's a shame that there are no longer shows like it on TV. Sure there are gadget shows
(eg. The Gadget Show) and stuff, but nothing that actually showed you how it worked from a
technical standpoint.
It's why list's like this are so useful, and enjoyable, to be part of.

Judith Hann. I don't remember Philippa Forrester being on it but I do
remember Maggie Philbin.
Perhaps the flashing-square software was in the earlier era of Raymond
Baxter and James Burke (which I also remember).
