Inventors Ross and Akram are in Bristol to try to help 26-year-old Greg.

Five years ago he was in a car crash and became paralysed from the neck down.

Greg can’t press the buttons on pedestrian crossings or pay for things in shops without giving over his card and pin.

In Cornwall, 11-year-old Malachi and family are struggling to cope with his Tourette’s, ADHD and autism.

Zoe Laughlin and Ryan White are on the case to invent something to help ease Malachi’s debilitating tics.

Finally, experts Haiyan and Yusuf are looking for a way to help four-year-old Jasper (main picture) get stronger after a terrible illness left him with paralysed lower legs.

The results, as always, are cutting edge, innovative and life changing.
