The biggest thing I like about guy martins shows is that there's sufficient information for those of us who have a knowledge in the subject but also he has a manner that encourages children and those not interested normally to sit down and be quiet during his programmes.
Hopefully we get a load more young engineers that have taken up the trade due to people like him and also the bloodhound project.

Even my missus likes his stuff, and she is most definitely in the "not normally interested in engineering" category. She can really relate to the "I could die doing this" attitude from her days as a pillion passenger.Hopefully we get a load more young engineers that have taken up the trade due to people like him and also the bloodhound project.
I've just looked and someone has already put it on to record . It clashes with "Strictly" - decisions, decisions .

Love the short film he did on his Merlin engine, was only shown on 4OD, not sure if it's still on.

Interesting. I wonder if such types were of ice-cool test pilot mentality, or devil-may-care racers?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidney_Webster
