Have we got news for you! Set your videos, HD Recorders, TiVo’s or Sky+ for BBC 1 at 7.30pm on Wednesday the 2nd of March when Guy’s long awaited TV programme, “The Boat That Guy Built” will finally air - and at prime time no less!
Here is the synopsis for Weds 02.03.2011 from the BBC.
Guy Martin starts a six-week mission to renovate a neglected narrowboat, named Reckless, with inventions from the Industrial Revolution. In this episode, he builds his own 18th-century blast furnace to cast an iron pot so he can boil some water, then learns how to throw his own traditional Wedgwood mugs so he can enjoy a perfect old-school cup of tea.
Exciting!,,, oops font...
Ahem,, Exciting!! I have been known to throw a few mugs.
(Quote: Holmfirthgirl) I can't wait to watch him racing this year - think (hope) he'll do well with TAS (Quote)
I'd like to see him get a TT or NW200 win this year also, with TAS. I just hope he can produce the goods, and keep his mouth shut without dissing the team. Guy hasn't done a lot for his racing career, and made a few enemies in high places, by complaining about and blaming the bikes in every big team he's ridden for this last 2 or 3 years. Simon Buckmaster got well stuck into him in the press not so long ago.
for those that missed it, The Boat That Guy Built is repeated tonight. BBC1, 18:30.
DNS - yep, I know what you mean, he's a bit like Hizzy was - passionate about racing & not much interested in the politics of keeping sponsors etc happy & will always say what he feels at the time.
But yep, I do hope he gets a win this year too
