"Protagonist Number 5 is part of a series of prototype U.S. military robots built for the Cold War by Nova Laboratories. The series' inventors, Newton Graham Crosby and Ben Jahrvi, are more interested in peaceful applications including music and social aid. After a demonstration of the robots' capabilities, Number 5 is hit by a lightning-induced power surge, changing it's programing. Several incidents allow the robot to escape the facility accidentally, barely able to communicate and uncertain of its directive. In Astoria, Oregon, animal-lover Stephanie Speck (who mistakes Number 5 for an extraterrestrial visitor) grants Number 5 access to books, television, and other stimuli, to satisfy his demand for 'input'; whereupon Number 5 develops a whimsical and curious personality. When Stephanie realizes Number 5 is a military invention, she contacts Nova who send out a team to recover him. When Number 5 accidentally crushes a grasshopper and gains an understanding of mortality, he concludes that if Nova disassembles him he will cease to exist. Frightened, Number 5 steals Stephanie's van; but the pair are cornered by Nova, including Newton and Ben. Although Stephanie attempts to reveal his sentience, Number 5 is disabled and captured, but he turns back on and escapes. From this, follow several adventurous escapes from the soldiers led by Nova's security chief Captain Skroeder (G. W. Bailey). Having humiliated Stephanie's suitor Frank, and the four remaining prototypes (who have been reprogramed by Number 5), Stephanie and the robot convince Newton of the robot's sentience; but are cornered by Nova's security and the Army, who destroy a duplicate robot (built by Number 5 himself and unknown to the others) in mistake for their quarry, whereupon Nova's President Dr. Howard Marner fires Skroeder for disobeying orders to capture Number 5 intact. Stephanie leaves with Newton, to emigrate to his family's estate in Montana. Having revealed himself to them, Number 5 (renaming himself "Johnny Five" after the song "Who's Johnny") accompanies Stephanie and Newton."@en

"A science series designed for secondary school students but of wide general interest. Part 1: Designer Babies" (Genetics and inheritance) Looks at the development of new assisted reproduction technologies, their implications, and at efforts to eradicate thalassaemia in Cyprus. Part 2: Frozen to Death" (Human organ preservation) Cryonics - freezing dead bodies in the hope that future technologies will find a way to revive them - is an idea that began in America and has now spread to the United Kingdom. It raises the question of how we define death. Part 3: A Risky Business" (Energy) Looks at the problems of electricity supply in war-torn Beirut, in France and the U.K. and balances the advantages of nuclear-power generated electricity against the risks of a disastrous nuclear accident. Part 4: The Black Desert" (The Kuwait oil fires) Examines the problems of extinguishing Kuwait's oil fires, started during the Iraq invasion, which have resulted in devastating environmental damage which may have global effects. Part 5: Big Bang" (Space) The management of day- to-day life for space crews is examined in the light of the Arizona biosphee project."
