It's not just micrometer as clamps... I seem to be confused by Brokeback Mountain feeling I get when watching the boys - I guess it's my warped mind :headbang: As usual with TV - shallow take on potentially interesting subjects :scratch: It's entertainment :clap: after all ... Chris |

Stopped watching it ... too painful .. As you say Chris, potentially interesting but totally screwed by the BBC .. as usual. I don't think it's entertainment either. Gerald Ratner knows what it is .. BC |

Well, I kind of enjoyed the one I watched (the steam-engine shower), even though I didn't see the point. IMHO, Industrial Revelations with Mark Williams was the best of the genre, by at least a country mile. Then again, there was the occasional gem in The Boat That Guy (and his mate, and a production crew...) Built - "there were 174 miles of canals" - "Aye, I reckon we've hit every corner on the way round!" :D |

--- Quote ---IMHO, Industrial Revelations with Mark Williams was the best of the genre, by at least a country mile. --- End quote --- :thumbup: Williams seems to have the same enthusiasm for engineering that Tony Robinson has for archaeology (CH4's Time-team). The production does not get carried away with arty 'HD' pictures and keeps the camera still & on the subject. It's a wonderful series :) |

it's a pitty they did not use a British steam engine to power the shower Peter |
