If it's as appalling as the "Train Spotting Live" that they did a few years ago, fronted by Peter Snow among others then it won't be worth watching. Hopefully they've learnt something from that an this next foray into a transport based hobby will be rather more successful!

I didn't see that, but I understand it also featured the delectable Hannah Fry talking about the mathematics of railways.

Here's hoping ... :O

If it's the BBC then I will be running the stopwatch to see how long it takes them to have a pop at President Trump. Context? They'll find one.

Presumably if they don't mention him at all you'll come back here to apologise for such a ridiculous bit of shoe-horning?

More importantly, does anyone know when it's on?

Indeed a ridiculous statement to make.........

I believe that the proposed presenter will make this an excellent programme. 🤔😬👍

And Jason is far too busy setting up airlines to be bothered with such a task! Tho he clearly has the "extensive aviation knowledge" box ticked! ;)

I remember the last time tv tried to film a spotter spotting they found a parker wearing long haired individual with a snotty nose and a note pad. Hope they don't find anymore of those.

You forgot the boils on the back of his neck.

DaveReidUK 19th Jul 2019 19:33

Scheduled to go out Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday next week.

Sadly no Hannah Fry this time round, er I mean no mathematical input. :O

Hannah Fry? See where you are going Dave Reid. Not her area, but my choice would be Suzannah Lipscomb. Planes? What planes?
