Second prize was also won by TWI for its production 'The Laser Millennium', an insight into the use of industrial lasers in the future.

'This was made possible solely by a superb production team' Dadson told Connect, 'Brian Smith, Simon Condie and Roy Smith are TWI's unsung heroes behind all our programmes.'
