The boffins started working their magic at Jodrell Bank after the War - when the country was skint, bombed and exhausted - using Army surplus gear.
It is an iconic story of when Britain could Just Do Stuff, before we got strangled by lanyards.

A man who has blown all his options can’t afford the luxury of changing his ways. He has to capitalize on whatever he has left, and he can’t afford to admit — no matter how often he’s reminded of it — that every day of his life takes him farther and farther down a blind alley.
