As im writing this post ive got Scrapheap Challenge on in the background. I quite like the show, not only has it got Kryten from Red Dwarf hosting it (Robert Llewellyn) but seeing as i dont have a mechanical or engineering bone in my body its good to learn some stuff to! (especially if i ever wanted to create a pumpkin chucking machine, hovercraft, wall breaker or a mini catapult!).
This particular episode has members of the public creating a vehicle that doesnt have an engine and they pit themselves against one another in like a drag strip environment. The winners of the public heats then pit themselves against the 'Scrapheap AllStars' which are 3 famous faces from previous series.
*Enter 'Oh Dear' Reference*
One of the AllStars is a Devonshire bloke called Andy Barnes (centre). If you want a sterotypical country bumpkin look no further than him. With your standard 'proper jobs' 'goodun innit' 'wats appened en?' quotes you will either laugh or cry. I do the latter, yes its good that he is giving us 'south westerners' some TV coverage (i mean to be honest how often are we on the news except for the 'and finally ref at the end of a bulletin when some old dear in Padstow is campaigning for free parking for the local church parishners) but i think the fact that 95% of the UK population dont have a clue what he is saying, it just makes us look backward :(
