Anybody else see this?, very good idea for a program, and I am filled with admiration for the boat builder and his team,as it is obvious he did 99.9%of the work and came up with all the project saving idea's.
What in the name of all thats holy was the function of those three other luvie bubble brains in the program, I assume they adopted the pretence of being stupid for good televisual effect.
Why didnt they just glance thru any kiddies science book, they could have gleaned all they needed to know form that instead of titting about in the manner they did.
A good idea for a documentry series, but next time I would suggest they get just plain practical people to undertake the project whatever it is, and bin those other three, their ignorance was a embarresing. :rolleyes:

Drapes I saw Chicken build a succesful one-man (one chook?) wooden sub recentley. Entry hatch had to be secured by nails and it lacked a bit in propulsion. Cow would testify it wasnt too good in handling waterfalls either.

Another fantastic program from the Beeb...hidden away as usual on BBC2...I am looking for forward to the next couple...and ironically probably quiet cheap to make!

Sorry...am also hooked on ITV's cartoon 'Jimmy Neutron'...uhum...it is on at kiddie time in the afternoon...a must watch!! :D

PS. TD you must remember that intellectuals always have to try the hard way first...and dont spot the easy way out like us...that is what they are there for...

Would have been better if they hadn't used the irrelevent flashy camera work nor the various 'dramatic effect' ploys.
