Watching this at the mo.
I'd forgotten I'd set series link on this one. I watched four episodes on Sunday, I'm addicted, fascinating and entertaining stuff. Very similar to the old Fred Dibnah stuff
I've just started to watch it but it is getting right on me fecking tits already!
Typical of programmes designed for people with an attention span of about 30mS....
They've said he is gonna drive the engine (if they can restore it) three times... even though they have shown him driving the engine...
So, he gets in the firebox to check for broken rivets...
... but then he is off building track...
...and before he can drive it (if they can restore it) he'll need a watch... so he is off to fix a watch....
JUST FIX THE BLEDDY ENGINE!
I can't watch any more...
