Title: BBC back to its best
Post by: RSJK on July 12, 2006, 17:28:42
I see the BBC was back to its best last night on BBC2...I am talking about the sadly missed Fred Dibnah, what a clever bloke he was and he made things sound so intresting.

ehhh they don't make accents like that any more.

I think OH is Fred's love child spirited away at birth, so although I love his programs, I can't appear to be too interested or OH'll have me out in the garage polishing bearings or painting cast iron.  Actually, there is a 1904 stationary engine block in the conservatory as I type, being painted gradually.

Ho Hum
