The 1970s was rocked by two oil crises, and countries were desperate to find alternative sources of fuel. So when two eccentric inventors stepped forward with a machine that could supposedly detect untapped oil from the air, surely it wasn't too good to be true?

Those suffering under Apartheid in South Africa found a group of unlikely allies in 1984, when a group of young retail workers in Ireland went on strike after refusing to handle goods from South Africa. What started as a tiny movement slowly grew until the Irish government and the rest of Europe were under pressure to act... This is the story of 'The Grapefruit Ladies' also known as 'The Most Dangerous Supermarket Workers In The World."

In the mid 1960s, Alexis Mardas met John Lennon from The Beatles, and the self-professed inventor made an immediate impression. With outlandish ideas like an artificial Sun, paint that could change colour or a force field that surrounded the Beatles' homes for security, he soon found himself head of Apple Electronics.
