Any one see this tonight? What a load of rubbish.


You knew it was going to be a Drivel TV when you watched it, didn't you -
what were you expecting ?


Three inept DIY'ers were given a series of tasks to complete, one of
which
was removing a sink.

One hapless victim sawed into a copper pipe to find the stopcock wasn't
turned off, water gushed everywhere. The heroic & manly presenter
removed
his jacket & stepped in to save the day.

He finished cutting the pipe remarkably quickly and said to the victim
"in
my jacket pocket you will find two white plastic caps".

These turned out to be push fit stop ends, one of which he rammed onto
the
heavily painted copper pipe - and whacked down with a hammer! The leak
miraculously stopped.

I wonder how many takes they did?

At least with Barry Bucknell people stood to learn some skills.

Mmmm, like how to cover a nice panelled door with hardboard AFAICR. He had a
lot to answer for!
