I have now watched the programme.

The linking together of how various parts were invented reminded me of the television series by James Burke called Connections.

I found from Wikipedia that that series is from 1978.

I have found that at least some episodes, perhaps all, I don't know yet, are available on YouTube.

Thank you again, Jack. That aerial inside the contactless card is amazing.

Thank you, Jack.

I have clicked on the link and I have then got the programme to start fine.

Found on the BBC website, this video about payment (debit/credit) cards; it's a 60 minute science programme to view or download.

Shows how they work, and the interesting construction of contactless cards.

You may have to affirm you are a BBC license payer to view it.

Just click it, it should bring it up.
