 Posted: 10:26 - 28 Feb 2011 Post subject: Wednesday, BBC 1 - 19.30 - Guy Martin's new TV show. |
 |
|
Just a heads up, TT racer Guy Martin has a new TV programme that Starts on Wednesday. Looks like it could be quite good, and as he's a self confessed fan of Fred Dibnah, I'm looking forward to it.

Description
Motorcycle racer, mechanic and engineering enthusiast Guy Martin, together with his best mate Mark “Mave” Davies, fit out Reckless, an aptly named narrowboat using the best of British inventions from the Industrial Revolution.
The series sees Guy – described as a cross between Steve McQueen and Fred Dibnah – building his own versions of the innovations that made Britain great, from an 18th century blast furnace to allow him to smelt iron and make a kettle, to re-engineering a steam engine so that it powers his shower. Along the way he’ll learn how to weave silk using an early computer, blow up the first gas-powered water heater, milk a cow the traditional way by burying his head against the cow’s stomach, and abseil off the side of Derby Cathedral to clean its clock and pay tribute to his steeplejack hero, Fred Dibnah. He also visits historic lavatory manufacturer Thomas Crapper & Sons, to conduct a “flush-off” and find the best toilet. |

Fell asleep when catching it on iplayer at 1 last night. Very interesting and even had a few of the old codgers at work talking about it yesterday. I didn't warn them about Guy's distinct accent. A northern accent is difficult to understand at times if you're a native of London... but he was just like a northerner on coke! . Great practical engineering programme.. Weren't too keen on Fred Dibnah but Guy makes it more contemporary. Programme reminds of those childhood documentaries of Adam Hart Davies - what the victorians did for us. ____________________ The Tot 2019 Z1000SX - 2007 R1

Will be watching that as soon as I can but Fred Dibnah is a legend.... Hubby uploaded virtually all his documentaries last month to a site after hours of collecting from others.
