The UK's leading inventors build life-changing solutions for people in desperate need. The team attempt to build a BMX bicycle for a young boy who was born with no hands or feet.

The Big Fix team use cutting-edge science and technology to find solutions for problems that have so far gone unsolved.

They attempt to tackle one of the biggest rural crimes in the UK and work to find a way to build a BMX bicycle for a young boy who was born with no hands or feet.

Meanwhile, in Peterborough, 56-year-old Graham is suffering from locked-in syndrome, meaning he is almost completely paralysed and unable to speak. Can the team come up with a way for him to have conversations with the medical team around him and, most importantly, his family and friends?
