This is being aired on BBC2 tonight at 9 Jan. Will probably Sky+ it and watch it one day next week.

Kept me entertained for an hour

bit like when the built a complete house out of Lego ... Good fun, but a completely useless house..
The thought of the meccanno three wheeler getting approval for use on the Manx roads was a little concerning.. Does that mean they could bring it over here and use it on UK roads holding up all the traffic wherever it goes too?

It took them nearly 3 days to do a lap! It was a little tedious at times, but interesting to a point.

Watched it but thought they bent every rule to do the lap
The Guy Martin series is pretty good too

Guy is more interesting than captain slow. What's tonight's show about?

Hi Ben,
I think he is going for the one man toboggan - saw a clip and it looked mental
I think there is a program about freeclimbers on tonight (don't look down) that looks alarming
