Just had a phone call from my daughter to tell me I'm on telly right now (Virgin Ch 265), missed most of it but it's being repeated on the +1 at 10pm apparently.

What are you on there for?

[Martian]

I'm one of the sparks on site repairing what a cowboy f**ked up, my longest appearance is about 18 mins in when Billy is trying to drill through a joist with a crappy 10V impact screwdriver and I end up showing him how it's done with a 36V Bosch.

Ah. In that case, I have a kitchen cupboard with fubared hinges. Can't fix it myself.

SOS!

When can I expect you? I'll have the kettle on.

What they didn't show was the cables the other side of the joist that he caught when that spade bit finally went through, and he did struggle with the two way lighting because we 3 plated at the switch 
To be fair to the man, he does stage lighting rather than domestic work so it was quite understandable that he was a bit "rusty"....but he definitely knows his onions.

We (my oppo & I) went out with him a few times during the course of the 10 days filming, and he's a real down to earth guy.
He gave me £20 on the Saturday for a drink as that was my birthday, and on the last day of filming he invited us back to his hotel where he & the rest of the production crew bought us drinks all night long (out of their own pockets) to say thanks for all the work we put in (which they didn't need to do).

All in all, a very decent bloke.
