The Inventors was an Australian ABC TV program which ran from 1970 to 1982. At its peak it was one of the ABC's highest rating programs.[1]
In each episode, a number of inventors would show their invention, and it was critiqued by a panel of three judges, who announced a winner at the end of the show. Most episodes were 30 minutes long, though the end-of-year finale, in which a yearly winner was announced, ran longer.
For the majority of the show's run, the host was Geoff Stone, and the panel was Leo Port, Diana Fisher and Vic Nicholson.[2][3] Port died in 1978 and was replaced by Neville Stephenson. In 1980, all of the presenters except Fisher left to start a similar program on the Nine Network, What'll They Think Of Next?[3]
