Ah yes, the "talking dashboard" with "Caution! Ice Alert!" when it was 75 deg F.

It was the professor not the sheep this time - also an interesting fact

A former manager of the early 1980s pop group The Human League turned biotechnology pioneer, Prof Best knew how to sell a good story and do so with panache.

So he was into some "Love Action" in both of his jobs?
