Motorcycle racer Guy Martin renovates a neglected narrowboat using inventions of the Industrial Revolution, beginning with building a blast furnace to cast an iron pot to boil water. He then visits the Wedgwood factory to learn how to create traditional mugs so he can enjoy a cup of tea.
Is this unlikely candidate with lambchop sideburns the next Fred Dibnah ?
Let’s hope so, but that’s so unlikely.
Fred Dibnah was a frigging legend. Steeplejack, stone mason, bricklayer, carpenter, back to basics and high tech. engineer.
Not only that, the b*stard was a brilliant draughtsman and good artist.
Mr Martin is quite handy with a motorcycle!
Boil water…he should have rather made some Potjiekos…:w00t:P.S. If you missed the 1st episode…I think you can maybe catch it again this Sunday.I can’t wait to see him at the TT…my first visit to the Isle!
If there is a deffinition of too northern that bloke is it, he is more northern than Fred Dibnah and that is saying something. Half an hour and all they made is a cup of tea… I wont be watching it again
Exactly what I thought!
Must confess I was disappointed with the first episode - it would help if he did not talk as fast as he rides:)
Waste of time
i thought it was fooking exellent!!!..cant wait to see it again!!!:D…
i noticed the cheeky Performance bikes T-shirt under his overalls…;)…i’m gonna send the Bastard a LondonBikers one…just to be a cunt:D.
smiled.
and a pot to p*ss in!
maybe he’ll be the first person to win the TT with a bike made from MDF
