Professor Cook bagins the programme by talking about Velero: a material we use every day on our shoes, clothes, purses and bags. It was inspired by the ‘hook and loop! system that some plants use to move their seeds. In 1948, Swiss engineer George de Mestral was walking with his dog in the countryside when he noticed that little seeds from a plant wore sticking to his dog's fur. He studied the plants more closely and saw how the hooks on the plant attach themselves to the loops and curls of an animal's fur.
