Heh heh - Bucknell was just a front man with little in the way of DIY
skills - he did nothing in his own house. When you saw him drive in a
screw, it had already been done by a chippy then removed so it was an
easy fit. The house they used for the prog was eventually sold and
found to be full of bodges.



Spoofing on television isn't new.


I remember reading somewhere that the Cradocks (original TV chefs)
mainly ate out of cans.


That may have been the case when they were at home alone - cobbler's
children etc. But the Craddocks knew their subject. Bucknell didn't, by
all accounts.
