I love watching him, I'm looking forward to this. He would probably hate me in real life though.

I love his stuff, true successor to Fred Dibnah.

VimFuego

will he be saying "100%" and "proper hard graft that" a lot?

 I agree, he's great, it's good to see someone with actual talent presenting a TV program.

Thanks for the heads up.Love watching Guy.

He still works just around the corner from me as a truck fitter.I sometimes see him biking to work.

Proper regular,down to earth guy.

He's the exception to the "celeb + rebuild" type progs which normally suck majorly, being as he's a good bloke and an engineer with it.

Side note: there's a fella with his son who had a Merlin engine in a stand, at a wings & wheels day. When it fired up all the blokes in it's slipstream had big silly grins and bits of grass stuck to their gnashers. Proper. Want one.

VimFuego

I've worked on a few of those beauties. My fingertips bled after wet flatting one, there's so many rivets to go round!
There's nothing like having one fly directly over your head at full pelt/low level.

You can't see a Spitfire without getting a kick out if it...

Arse! I forgot. Thankfully there's a Channel 4 +1

Watching it now, despite not being able to understand a word Guy says, it's brilliant! I want to build a Spitfire.

Public Service Broadcasting - I heard an interview with them on Front Row and I liked the idea so I got an album. Unfortunately, the music they create to go with the audio is rather ordinary at best. A pity, really. 

Caught most of the Guy Martin thing. Very good.
