Hammond: Richard Hammond's Engineering Connections

Mineworksfine · September 3rd, 2008, 09:40 PM

The show previously mentioned in the Airbus A380 thread starts on National Geographic in the UK at 9pm on Monday September 8th, Sky Channel 526 Virgin TV 230 or at 10pm on 527 or 231.

It was shown on Nat Geo in Australia on Foxtel, on Monday 1st September. It was a great program. Worth watching.

Curse my downgrade to the basic cable package!

How Richard can be so anti-facts (recently) on TG and then doing this just doesn't make sense to me. images/smilies/dunno.gif

I watched this last night... it gave me the impression that this programme is for people who find thinking a challenging exercise. It was just so light and fluffy and cheap. The more I thought about it, the more I laughed at myself for sitting through 45 minutes of it.

I don't know whether he read the script, or just coloured it in.

These sort of shows are always a bit of a compromise. Do you go for the fluffy option or actually try to accurately describe the physics.

The full detail can be done concisely (i.e. within the time available) but requires word perfect descriptions for it to be easily understood.

And this is where it started to fall down for me. There were a couple of places where the explanations were over complex and unclear.

Still, better than 'World worst toilets' or whatever else is on TV these days.

Or...

World's Worst Celebrity Toilets.

This is a very strange programme; it leaves you wondering what was gained by making it.

was wondering were this thread was...

I think it's been interesting. I didn't realize it was on yet - had to catch up and see the first 4 shows.

This does sound interesting, but I can only find the first episode (and my computer's so full of shows from the guys already that I have no room! Time to burn DVDs!). Any thoughts on where to get it?
