Quest channel 'How it's Made'
No1_sonuk:
Most of "How it's made" is filmed in Canada. "How stuff's made" is mostly in the US. "How do they do it?" is more widespread.

I don't mind the Big Automated Factory stuff - in fact, I think it's fascinating. Some of the mechanisms in use are just incredible. Much more interesting than watching a bloke whacking something with a big hammer...
The biggest problem with watching them on Discovery is the sheer number of repeats. It's like Family Guy - brilliant, but I'm pretty sure I've seen them all now...

I've never heard of "How stuff's made", and I'm in the States. We have "How it's Made", and have for many years. Also a show
called "Factory Made" that is very similar.
I watch them for lack of something better. Not a lot of real info in them, especially when they have a four minute segment on
how a Hughes helicopter is made. Start to finish in four minutes, you know there's not much of the actual process shown. Still,
they're kind of entertaining. Sort of "Manufacturing-Lite". ; )

Looks like it might be called "Some Assembly Required" in the US. It's usually got Brian Unger taking part in the processes involved.

That's a different show again, mostly with Unger mugging for the camera. The other shows are more of a
proper narrated program.
