As part of the Rise of the Robots season, David Tennant narrates a warm-hearted look at the future of robotics. Many humans have a cultural fear of robots, but eccentric Canadian robot inventor and puppeteer David McGoran hopes to fix this by making a new kind of machine that moves just like humans do. However, the real test comes when the machine is left on the streets of Bristol and programmed to find out more about humans, and the robot films its own extraordinary adventure, as it tries to connect with people in a whole new way.
