I looked at the link and saw:

8:30 am Bob the Builder: Project Build It

...then I realised I was looking at am rather than pm :11doh:

Aye and Bruce Parry is on straight after.

I have an issue watching Bruce though , he nearly always ends up spewing his guts out lavishly on tv, and Im usually eating at the time.

 

[bikething]

hope it's on iPlayer... (ain't got no telly )

 

[john scrivy]

bruce is good watching

Either that or he's displaying his two plums and banana!

What is it with military and ex-military blokes getting nekkid all the time!

 

[slamdunk]

Military vicars and tarts party = 95% tarts, 3% vicars, 2% who can't be bothered to dress up.

 

[Singeblister]

two minds about this , one i like to watch things like this , but on the other hand you get numptys thinking they will go out and take ALL that is there , last year I checked my blackthorn to find half a dozen folks helping themselves , I say my blackthorns they arnt but I have harvested at the same place for a few years so fair doos as long as they use them.
But I think programs like this do encourage people who wouldn't normally get wild food to go out and gather but do they eat it / use it ?

Justso you know, WHSmiths have the book in at half price (@ £10).

[Shewie]

Did anyone watch it ??

It was a bit more Nigella than I`d hoped for.

 

[Chris G]

Yes, I watched it. I'd give it 7/10. Somewhere between Bear Grylls and Wild Gourmets with a bit of HFW thrown in for good measure.

It was alright, seemed like a man going out of his way to make the folks at `ome puke, with the cute lambs n then the lamb meal, then he shot some rabbits and cooked `em, then he went looking for truffles in the peak district and found the devils penis...(an inedible mushroom)

 

[JimN]

Found it better than I expected, not too keen on 'Val' but he had good guests. The welsh farmer and his mum were a scream (farmer about the presenter; "I've got a farmhand who can cook, shame you're not a woman" ) and the fungi bloke seemed knowledgeable.

I'm going to start counting how many times he mentions he grew up on a farm. Is 'Valentine' a standard name for farmers' boys?

 

[JohnC]

Watched it on iplayer, I liked it. The mushroom hunting was over too quickly but it was only a bit of the prog...

 

[pothunter]

Well what a refreshingly new idea for TV.......NOT

Bored after 10 minutes left the room and missed Bruce Parry for which I blame the food fiddler.

Grumpy Pothunter.
