Look East's Neil Lyndon looks at the extraordinary career of Clive Sinclair. The Cambridge inventor is on the cusp of releasing a new, flatscreen CRT pocket television, which may change television design for ever.

Sinclair had great success with the Sinclair Executive - an electronic pocket calculator, which he followed up with the ill-fated Sinclair Black Watch, only to bounce back with his low cost Sinclair ZX80 Home Computer.

Despite his success, rumours abound that Clive Sinclair's business acumen does not match his ingenuity as an inventor. Would he be better taking a back seat and concentrating solely on inventions?

This clip is from Look East: The Pacesetters, originally broadcast 21 April, 1981.
