A 4x4 is born the series

The series "a 4x4 is born " is being re-run on Quest TV(freeview) starting tomorrow(Thursday 27th) afternoon 3:00pm until 4:00pm every weekday. I found it interesting when it was shown last.

I always seem to turn off after ten minutes with those shows.

I find I just want to strangle the bloke doing the job, and his pal is even worse.

The phrase "Jammy Git" comes to mind

TV for the unemployed (or in some cases unemployable!) At that time of day.

Tin had and flame proof jacket at the ready :)

And the retired...

Or shift workers? Retired and Disabled?

I happen to think it is great TV for those who are wanting to learn about all things mechanical as they explain things quite well. Lad likes watching it and I'm sure he knows way more about Diffs and lockers than I did until I was probably 25.

Regardless he is as Lizzy says a Jammey git getting to build all those projects and no doubt picking up a nice packet at the end of it.

One assumes he's got some sort of serious engineering reputation, or is he just a rich bloke who has an industrial unit set up as a workshop and who wanted to make some films?

And, on looking him up, it seems he's a vet.

So, a rich guy with an expensive hobby who managed to make it into his living...

Pity it doesn't appear to be on Freesat, at least their web site doesn't mention Freesat only Freeview (38) and Sky (154. +1 167) but then it doesn't mention Virgin (179) ot TalkTalk (109) either.

Kids now home so not allowed to "play" with the telly, is Sky 154/167 FTA, FTV or subscription? I suspect it might be subscription as the channel is owned by Discovery and all the other Discovery stuff is subscription.

I guess it might be an intersting series but I was more looking to see if the channel it was transmitted on was available as it sounds interesting in general. Having played Quest appears to be subscription via a Sky box at least.

Slight problem, we don't have a Freeview signal here. DSO isn't due until 2012...

Slight problem, we don't pay for satellite TV. Quest is a subscription channel on Sky and is not available on Freesat. The above page doesn't mention Virgin Media or TalkTalk so is not particulary good IMHO.
