It was one of my must watch programs, them were the days, eh? Only three channels to choose from. I remember Channel Four starting, with Carol
Vordermann in a cardie.
DO NOT PUT ON KNOB OR BOLLOCKS!

The egg race was awesome. I must have been no more than 14 when it was last on - 20 years ago + VAT id guess. I could blame that prog for my career
choice in engineering.
Hammond is entertaing and Ok to ap point but i know what you mean - verging on irritating. Hope he doesnt make a hash out of it. Wonder if they keep
the signature tune - cult classic!

I loved the great egg race, one of my favourite ever programs. Also used to like a series called "Now get out of that".

I remeber that as well. It was brilliant. A sort of problem solving excercise with a limited amount of parts. Sort of locost really

Haven't got a clue what you're going on about, but I did meet prof Heinz Wolff once and he was madder than a big box of frogs!
