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 ...

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 ..

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

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
