Near the end of the programme. Chris made a comment to the camera. His voice sounded a bit slurred. Was he under the affluence of incohol again?

A lot of staff must be 15+ and a lot of cash sales - looks like fun
35 members of staff....there's probably 10 in the offices alone

Did anyone notice the boss and Boyle not wearing seat belts?

Doubt Boyle will ever get sacked. I reckon Terry could walk in on Boyle giving Lyndsay a bit of how's your father and probably pat him on the back.
I agree with this.

That building site they've bought by the river - is that one of them northern rivers that's forever flooding? Due to the rather wet climate...

The boss seems to be genuine - but what is his past (the overt helping of ex-cons etc)? Just interested to know more - Dad next door but not speaking, business is apparently the largest of it's type in the area, they scrap runners that should sell?

Many questions...and a very opulently appointed house (mood lighting under the kitchen counters) (and wife)!

Not a bad bit of telly for a Friday night.

Well the climate of a river does tend to be wet, that's sort of the point.

He should maybe build it in one of them northern areas like Somerset or Boscastle that never flood.

It's cyclists not wearing helmets that TV people are concerned about. Not people breaking the law in cars - that's just taken as read.

Bugger! Just looking at my TV & Satellite mag and it was showing a new series starting this evening at 10 o'clock - checked on TV planner and is showing something else at that time. Harumph!

Best guess is it must be back on soon, fingers crossed.

ETA: Just checked the BBC website and it is back on Wednesday 19th of this month. smile

Obviously this has been shuffled around at short notice, Radio Times schedule shows Ep. 2 tonight, 3 next Tuesday, 4 on Wednesday & so on, I had to look at the BBC schedule to see what is actually on. Wonder if there were some last minute edits, the episode summaries for 1 to 4 are all Health & Safety inspections, accidents, drinking on the job and so on...

I couldn't stand Boyle. I thought he was a dhead.

If he worked for me he would've been fired after about five minutes

Well, when I checked the BBC website last week it was saying that it would start tomorrow evening but, having now checked again it is saying "There are no upcoming broadcasts of this programme".

Yours, perplexedly.

Delayed for 'legal reasons' is about the only thing the BBC has to say. Which could mean almost anything. Supposed to be on later in the year.
