[Closed] PSA New Guy Martin TV programme

Has he had his teeth done? Celebrity gone to his head?

Papa Lazarou 🙂

HELLO DAVE.....

Arrright chief...

Awesome. Thanks mate.

I think he had his teeth done when he knocked some out in an accident.

Cheers

Arrright chief...

That's my first thought.............I think I'll skip it.

Excellent! The new Fred. I'll be watching that! (although Guy's faster than Fred & probably everyone else on here)

Dobbo, really? Part of the charm in my eyes. He is a proper chap, seems to be a really genuine bloke. Very skilled in riding bikes with motors and pedals and at spannering I think that's why there is a lot of guy love on here for him. He also has a bloody nice Aston.

Thank you for that, just sent to my Sky box to record.
I think even smokers teeth would look white against that grubby face!

Agh! Damn you being out of the country! I like Guy, I think he's a breath of fresh air on the TV i.e. not a plastic idiot. I will have to 4OD when I am back.

Looking forward to this. Proper bloke's bloke

I like him,

but do we really need another look back at industrial revolution, steam engines, empire, looms, canals etc etc, ..

Yep 🙂 I love that shit.. and you dont have to watch it 🙂

Eurgh... Overblown cheeky northern chappy relives the industrial revolution and someone describes it as a breath of fresh air?

Don't forget his calendar too!

I didn't think Lincolnshire was Northern, is it?

Eurgh... Overblown cheeky northern chappy relives the industrial revolution and someone describes it as a breath of fresh air?

Really?... I think an interesting bloke who is clearly passionate about the subject, talking about, and exploring, some of this countries (and the worlds) greatest engineering achievements sounds like a pretty good use of an hour on the sofa

Maybe we should have more X Factor instead? Maybe another series of Big Brother?

If you're such an expert on what should and shouldn't be on telly, and what defines 'a breath of fresh air', then what exactly should we be watching on a Sunday evening? What are your personal recommendations? 🙄

Maybe we should have more X Factor instead? Maybe another series of Big Brother?

Yes, that's exactly what I was saying.

So what were/are you saying? We're waiting for your 'breath of fresh air' alternatives?

Monkey Tennis?
Youth Hosteling with Chris Eubank?

Do feel free to enlighten us on any original, alternative programming ideas you've had yourself.....

As I don't work in television production it's not really my job to dream up television programs. This does not change the fact that this program has been being made in various guises since the 70s.

To suggest that watching a man daub himself with grease and **** himself into a froth over steam engines is in any way a novel TV trope is utter, utter bollocks. Just because it's been two or three years since the last time this program was made doesn't make it a "breath of fresh air".

Monkey Tennis?

I'd pay a princely sum to watch that.

I understand this is the once great Sampras having a recent knockabout:

[i]Youth Hosteling with Chris Eubank?[/i]

Wow! Did he get a second series? Awesome!

Monkey Tennis?
Youth Hosteling with Chris Eubank?

Crash. Bang. Wallop. What a video.

All legitimate options for 'breath of fresh air' tele I reckon.

Thanks for that Sam. I do indeed feel truly enlightened

So... you just dismissively slag something off, simply because something similar has been done at some indeterminate point in the last 40 years.

It can't possibly amount to anything more interesting than a northern (he isn't BTW) monkey getting oily, could it? You can obviously tell that from the trailer. Your incisive judgement is that sharp

But you don't actually have any alternatives? Well done. Thanks for your contribution. I'm sure the prime time schedulers will be beating a path to your door, to hang off your every word, and watch their ratings subsequently rocket

are you a little bit gay for Guy binners..? 😆

I just think in this age of dismissive cynicism (see above), then credit where its due. And after watching this....

I personally think the blokes got something interesting to contribute, to whats looks like pretty compelling subject matter. Some people's utterly negative, and condescending attitude just ****s me right off at times. That's all

Good lord...

Some would say Guy is "Lord"

Series linked here, bloody brilliant.

Need more beer in the fridge and pies, need more pies.

When's it on, this new Guy Marting thing ? Channel 4 links not working at work

Sunday 21st October at 8pm

This...from binners! <faints>

If you do have a Guy Martin man crush the boat thing is about to be repeated on 'Yesterday'

Really looking forward to this. I like his attitude and it makes a change from all the other cr&p.

When is the boat thing on again? Both attempts I have made to watch this have been deleted by the bloody kids to make way for Dr Who, Merlin, X Factor or other such drivel.....

Looks like it could be a good series.

Better to have a petrol head present a show like this rather than some footbal or X factor type person.

i stood next to him in the food tent at MM, didn't have the guts to say "alllright chief" incase he decked me 🙂

1 hour to go PSA/bump 😛

Will Mave be with him

*swoons*

😆

Looking forward to watching this, though will be on C4+1. The boat series was great; even my two girls enjoyed watching it.

I'm well with Binners on this, like Fred Dibnah only miles quicker.
Guy Martin's the man!

As a massive Fred Dibnah I kind of like Guy, a perfect choice to present these sort of programmes. I reckon even the great man himself would doff his cap in appreciation.

Trains!!!!!!!!

And a steam one at that WooHoo!!!!!!!
