The Great Flying Challenge on BBC

[Angry Turnip]

Did anyone watch this?
First of a 3 part programme introduced by (Mr Moustache) Dick Strawbridge in which local engineers and craftsmen attempt to build,and fly a copy of Harry Ferguson`s aeroplane.

Have it recorded, not watched it yet. Was it worth watching?

Well worth watching. Felt the 'acting' a bit too staged, but apart from that a good program. Great to see such familiar places and people on the telly!

[Angry Turnip]

Excuse the pun,but some of the interviews were very wooden-the framework looks very bulky and heavy.

Still an interesting programme and well worth a look.

Have to say I like Mr Strawbridge.

I would love to watch this but living in Denmark so I can't watch it on BBC iplayer. Does anyone know of any links I can watch it through?
