Default A new TV show for guys like us

James May's _Man Lab_, "... a new series in which he strives to save the
modern man - 'a feckless, bedwetting, parmesan-shaving imbecile who revels
in his own uselessness' - by teaching them the traditional [industrial]
skills of their manly forefathers."

Unfortunately this is on BBC2, but downloadable via Usenet or BitTorrent.

As his shirt says, "Get Excited and Make Things".

This gets you the NZB:

(You'll need NNTP from a paid Usenet server like giganews.com to download
the actual video .avi binary file based on the NZB. That server also gives
you newsbin for free. This is the only way to watch TV anymo
commercial-free, worldwide, archivable, PC-based.)
