With the awards season fresh in their minds, Russ and Mark travel back a mere 24 years to 2002 where Kate Humble and Roger Black host the third (and last) annual Tomorrow's World Awards - in association with British Gas.

There's actually quite a bit of interesting stuff in here as there's quite a few decent inventions among the nominees, alongside a whole cavalcade of stars roped in to dish out the gongs.

In memory of a dearly departed friend, we go back 60 years to a very special nautical episode that we know he would have enjoyed.
In an exciting departure from normal service, Raymond Baxter presents to us live from the first ever commercial crossing of the Channel by hovercraft. And along the way he shows us a whole range of exciting new developments in the world of seagoing transportation. This includes:

- Hydrofoils
- Research submarines
- Aquanauts (the "Dandies of the Deep")
- Underwater ejector seats
- Dracone barges
- Plenty of hovercraft chat

Avast ye landlubbers! Anchors aweigh! etc etc.

Happy New Year! And welcome to the future...

We kick off 2026 with one of our favourite things - a listener request. Mark's friend India had a bizarre and barely believable memory of an episode involving a South African man who had attached flamethrowers to his car. Doesn't sound like Tomorrow's World does it? Well sure enough, here it is.
This is actually a whole South Africa special, where Philippa Forrester and Craig Doyle take a tour of the country on the famous Blue Train, finding out:

- How to study cricketers with mocap
- How to track animals with a PalmPilot
- How to set fire to carjackers
- How to cure TB with some local plants
- How to attach a collar to an elephant

It's mostly a bland load of nothing episode. But who doesn't love a flamethrower?
