I noticed that one of the participants in yesterday's Scrapheap Challenge on
TV was called 'Lurch'.

Since I haven't come across too many people with this handle, I wondered
whether there was any connection with the 'Lurch' who posts here.
Admittedly, our Lurch appears to be an electrician, whereas the bloke on the
telly was tinkering with car bits - but the two are not necessarily mutually
exclusive.

Dunno, I'm sure the resident Lurch will advise shortly.

The man behind the UK-Rocketman site

was on Scrapheap and was surprised to find that he was to be known as
'Buzz', a nickname assigned to him by the production team for dramatic
purposes.

Same here, and his slightly portly best mate quickly became known as
festus!
