A six-year-old has seen his talking rucksack invention made into a working prototype, reported The Times. James Scowcroft said, 'It says "Have you got your dinner money? Have you got your books?" It's a good idea because I need something to remind me.' The 'robo rucksack', fitted with an antennae and recording equipment, was presented to James at the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry after he won a national competition.

The 'Blue Peter' television team admitted that two of its competitionwinners were actually child actors selected to do an interview on theprogramme, said the Daily Mail. Producers confirmed that four childrenhad contacted the show to win the opportunity and another two wererecruited from a drama group.
