He seems to be avoiding saying everything twice. He seems to be avoiding saying everything twice. Which is nice.
I fixed that by rewinding every few seconds to make it sound like the real Guy Martin. We'd been watching for half an hour before the Mrs spotted it was me dicking about.

It's always the same with TV programs, those who are already knowledgeable on the subject covered moan about it.
Personally I know nowt about China so thought it great, particularly the alleged naughty bits which it looks like there will be more of next episode.
Human poo as compost is nothing new and a very good idea, you could buy it in the UK by the sackful in the 70s and i'm sure if you Google it it's more common than you think.
Couldn't really understand why they didn't want a back street barber exposing though and a shame how they seem intent on erasing all of their history.

I find GM disarmingly pleasant to watch. Better still if he's racing, but in this his enthusiasm and level headed approach are what makes it worth viewing ("It's only poo - it'll not burn yer"
And I learned something about China.
It's far from perfect, but it is just a cheapo travel documentary. And GM knows his stuff when it comes to ICE and driving stuff, and - revelation - his H+S regs (that carrying malarkey could have ended a lot worse).

Ferret poo coffee (feed ferret coffee beans, s
ts them out, let it dry and sell to people) in Vietnam was very big and costly. Bali had something similarNot Lemmings though i'm afraid.

Did I mishear or did he say it is cheaper to send fish to China and back to be filleted there than it would be to have it done here? If so, what the juddering f . . .?
Chinese earn less than £1 a day doing it - http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12765981.Scotla..._cod_apos_s_10_000_mile_trip_to_your_table/Ken Sington said:

It was Scottish Cod and you're right, cheaper to ship it to China, have it filleted there and then ship it back to the UK to be sold than to just fillet it in the UK.Not surprising when you see that port and hear the transport costs: 1p for a can of beer from UK to China.
This of course is the part of the argument that all the "bring manufacturing back to Britain" folk naively miss - we simply cannot compete with the Chinese on labour costs, unless of course we start paying a Chinese level of wages in the UK and I don't see many people queuing up to be paid £500 for a month of 12 hour days/six day weeks of manual labour.

Bali had something similarIt isn't as dirty as you think either as the beans themselves are never in contact with the poo, the shells are but those are washed before they are processed.

I enjoyed this & thought it was a good watch.
Just caught up and I agree, looking forward to the next one.I like watching him because he's so different to all the clean cut professional presenters that just do as they are told with no real enthusiasm for the subject matter, he gets excited at a bunch of shipping containers and I can relate to that.

Amazed me how that dam was built. 13 cities, 140 towns flooded all for the greater good.
And 5 people that protested against it all were put in prison! So there are literally cities under the water. That's mad.Amazed me how that dam was built. 13 cities, 140 towns flooded all for the greater good.
Thought it was a great program, learned lots. The shear scale of things is amazing.
