Tonight on UK telly 7:30 BBC1Speed Demon Guy Martin starts a six-week mission to renovate a neglected narrowboat, named Reckless, with inventions from the Industrial Revolution. In this episode, he builds his own 18th-century blast furnace to cast an iron pot so he can boil some water, then learns how to throw his own traditional Wedgwood mugs so he can enjoy a perfect old-school cup of tea.
In a world awash with cheap tea leaves this man stands tall with a proper mug of brew in his hand.
ReplyDeleteTeam Skooterfarm not only salutes you but actually ran over you in turn one at Mildenhall!

ReplyDeleteI don't have a telly...so I hope this is available on t'iPlayer later!
ReplyDeleteYes it's true!! I ran over Guy !! Even though he was the one lying on the floor I somehow managed to come worst off by performing a "Flying W" over the recumbant Mr. Martin and then catapulting myself into the rapidly approaching fence......ouch!
ReplyDeleteI wish they didn't keep calling each other Chief every twenty seconds though, it gets a bit tedious!
