It was filmed in 1971. It was mandatory viewing in our house, no doubt viewed as 'proper educational'* TV unlike, say, On The Buses. Baxter & Burke (referred to as a 'right Burke, hohoho') by my Dad were the mainstay until Woolard, Rodd & Philbin rocked up, I always thought Woolard better on Top Gear than he was on TW. Baxter was an interesting cove - checkout his history - he quit TW after a row with the producer - bit like Clarkson and Top Gear without the fisticuffs *(The World About Us on BBC2 came on around 7pm (ish) on a Sunday and we were allowed to stay up late provided we had bathed/showered and were ready for bed with schoolbags packed - god, we were boring little automatons ) warren t claim 1
EyesWeldedShut Posted December 13, 2024 Posted December 13, 2024 OK YouTube: No doubt this guy is well known to AS peeps but I've never come across him (probably as I usually avoid YouTube like The Plague but, seeing as Mrs. EWS has The Plague I seem to have free time after dark). Odd little funny thing he says but I just watched to see how effing complicated could they make a big diesel. Very. p.s. I'm not a huge H&S nazi but that guy's beard near rotating tools gave me the willies - wonder if he wraps it when working on a working engine?
somewhatfoolish Posted December 13, 2024 Posted December 13, 2024 What's the beard equivalent of scalping? I'm reminded of a terrible elf'n'safety video nasty I was shown a long time ago; Karl Howman/Jacko from Brush Strokes was a lairy apprentice type in a machine shop, long hair, boilersuit open to the waist exposing his typically 70s british physique(racing whippet, pigeon chest, pale and uninteresting) and a comedy medallion, he comes to grief while operating a lathe and loses his hair.

Sadly 'knocking copy' at the end when they show a Reliant driving off in a cloud of smoke. The 'media' was always snotty about British manufacturing and to an extent still is.

Quote the streetlights shown at the end on the concrete columns I am pretty sure are GEC Z9455 lanterns, and as for how you tell an MA60 and MA50 apart, early ones look the same except the length of the main white fibreglass housing, however later MA50's do not have the metal gear shoe that all gear-in-head MA60's have (Ditto the shortest of the range MA90 is the same later examples dont have gear shoes, but even gear-shoe MA90's you can spot pretty well based on how short n stubby they are) gear-less (where the ballasts are mounted in the column) MA lanterns exist and those are all shoe-less so you have to spot those just based on length
