This is a great new series on BBC. I know many of you who will enjoy this, Al, Jay, Jerry, etc.

If you live outside the UK, use anonymouse or another ip blocker to watch it, as BBC likes to syndicate its stuff around the world.

This week sees the first instalment of The Boat That Guy Built on BBC One. On Wednesday 2 March Guy Martin, a 29 year-old motorcycle racer and engineering enthusiast, will take to the airwaves as he attempts to restore a dilapidated narrowboat.
Guy and his companion Mave will transport Britain’s canals and rivers into living rooms across the country as they fit out an ageing narrowboat with all the mod cons you could expect to enjoy in the Victorian Era.
In the first episode Guy and Mave negotiate the Anderton Boat Lift on the Trent & Mersey Canal as they set off on their maiden voyage. While their canal boat may be fuelled by coal, Guy and Mave quickly realise that in order to renovate the boat, they need to be fuelled by tea. This week’s episode revolves around the pair making themselves everything needed to create the perfect cuppa.
It’s not as simple as boiling the kettle though, as Guy and Mave first need to build a blast furnace to make a tea pot. Striving for the perfect cup also necessitates Guy to take a trip to the Wedgewood factory to make cups.
