On 26 October, zoologist and inventor Adrian Thomas as he showcases his work mimicking nature, from a drone that's inspired by a dragonfly to a boat with a fin rather than a propeller.
On 30 November, Hannah Fry will take you on a tour of the good, the bad and the downright ugly of the algorithms that surround us.
