The Genius of Invention is a British factual television series that was broadcast on BBC Two between 24 January 2013 and 14 February 2013.

[1] The main presenters of the series were Mark Miodownik, Cassie Newland and Michael Mosley.

[2] Terry Ramsey of The Daily Telegraph gave the series three out of five stars and said that "despite the jumpy style and occasionally annoying chat, it had a lot of appealing science packed in, all neatly wrapped up so it didn’t even feel like we were learning.

"[4] The Independent's Tom Sutcliffe said "everything from presentational style to the level of the material it contains it's essentially a children's programme.

In fact, it calls for a new verb: to Bluepeterise, a shorthand for the increasingly fashionable technique of dividing the content up between three puppyishly eager presenters".
