And for those who don’t know thanks to the incredibly detailed, thought out and useful OP, it’s a programme following him helping to build a WW1 tank from scratch! Should be a good watch, hopefully they might even go into a bit more tech detail than normal.

There is no need to be y about it.

That’s gratitude for you.

When stupidity and sarcasm get rewarded i'll send some over to you, ok?

Start a thread with the OP you’ve put up and call someone else stupid? That’s ironic...

I see, so someone taking time out of their day (unpaid) to post up a thoughtful reminder from their phone to others is wrong somehow?
I didn't know what the program contained, just that it was new and on Sunday, if you can't work it out from that there is something quite wrong.
As an alternative should I post after the event to remind you what you missed?

It must be a very bitter and lonely existence you have there.

It's on soon - don't forget.

Those 'rivets' look far too perfect! I am enjoying it though, the cold hard facts of WW1 never cease to amaze and sadden.

1200hp in a modern tank, that's got to be about 2000 lb/ft of torque

I think I enjoyed that more than most of his offerings, probably because of the WW1 links and facts and also they seemed to make an effort to prove the honesty of what they were going through (with the engines first fire up and the Lincolnshire Council thing) as many programs have fake jeopardy these days. Ok so it could have been the second or third time it was fired up and GM might be a really wonderful bloke in real life, but yeah, it made good TV; 9/10.

More than 3400lbft!

Do you think so? I was being conservative with a rough 1990s rule of thumb (double the BHP and take a bit off) and also that's pulling 60T of weight (double that of the original), did they quote the output of the original?

Back on TV tonight with a 2hr D-Day special on Ch4 as usual.

I wonder if anyone else noticed how that used partition they purchased was a mile out when they offered it up? Unless it was for another part of the plane...
That aside a very enjoyable program.
