Just a heads up that the new Guy Martin series starts this Monday at 9 on 4.

I'll probably watch that, always enjoy a new show from the mumbling East Midlander. It'll ps off all the people who resent his success too, which is a bonus.

I like him too, some of the stuff he does is too scripted and managed.

Just let him be and he's fine.

He's from Grimsby, that's not East Midlands, it's Yorkshire

Grimsby is most definitely *not* in Yorkshire.

Confusingly some Google results say Yorkshire while some say Lincolnshire.

As a Yorkshireman, I can positively inform you that Grimsby is firmly in Lincolnshire.

Mumbling? How is he a mumbler? He might have a distinct way of speaking but he's never a mumbler! confused

I’m from the East Midlands, I’m taking the piss out of people on here who complain that they can’t understand a word he says…

It's in the ceremonial county of Lincolnshire, but also falls within the level 1 administrative region of Yorkshire and the Humber.

He's from Lincolnshire, given it borders Yorkshire they aren't all that different in many ways. I think a Southerner would be hard pushed to tell the difference between Yorks, Lancs and Lincs accents, particularly of people who grew up near the borders.

Just read about this in his new book. Does sound like some of the work is subbed out, but should be a decent series.

Claim to fame…maybe

Did some work for a Mrs Martin in Guy’s home village in the summer.
Motorcycle pics on the wall.
Didn’t occur to me until I drove away who’s house I was probably in!

My mate sprayed the blue Land Rover that’s in this series, he’s sat waiting on the edge of his sofa for his two seconds of fame.

Guy Martin transforms iconic road vehicles into thoroughbred racing machines.

Just a heads up really, as I hadn’t heard about it, not sure I’ll be watching, but have set it to record smile

15 minutes in and there's a bit of nonsense but looks promising.
