Has anyone just seen it and anyone have any comments about the light that was installed

repeated tonight if you missed it

I think the biggest problem with these kinds of programs is that everything is blown out of all proportion.

Yes, i am sure there are major issues with a lot of the works, and it makes good telly, and of course, viewing figures.

I missed this, I didn't realise there was a new series. Always good viewing just for the totty value.
Repeated on Sunday at 13.10 on 5, My sky+ is set. Let the comedy begin.

Dont get to carried away with it as Jason said its all out of proportion. The way they put it across that people were frightened to speak out incase of recriminations I was expecting to see someone that was 6ft 12 and build like a brick wall not someone that had mislaid his zimmer frame

I havn't seen the programme yet,but the 500mm part p guy may be on the way out

If that is so,there will be an opportunity for one of us to replace him

Think of the fees involved,at least one appearance every 14 years or so
Well it seems that long between electrical subjects on Tv


That melinda you are all on about,Is she the topless tart with blonde hair, and on her head as well

I wondered how long it would take for this thread to drift of topic.

I have no idea what you mean although she is easier on the eye that mr cable. maybee the nic could use her for the tech talks

 

[Spudnik]

There is NO WAY that was the only position the camera could be.

I mean it was a full screen shot

true, dom once did a show beat the burglar anyone see that one ? they used to stage a burglary and an ex con used to rob them and leave dna for the police to find, usually something dumb like having a drink and leaving the carton on the side. the tenants were priceless asking questions like "why would he steal that"

 

[gaz2212]

just watched it on the channel 5 website... that part p guy was just as clueless as the first bloke that bodged the light in!!

Five have been in touch (having been linked to this thread & the other one)..

We were sorry to learn that you feel some of the information given in Episode 2 of Series 2 was ‘false’. We can assure you that experts were on hand throughout the production of the episode for advice on all aspects of the building project. Further to this, the company that produces the programme for us have contacted the NICEIC for additional guidance on the information given on wiring in this episode. With regards to the statement “Yeah Part P clearly states that you must use 50 or 60 centimetres in an area like this but common sense prevails in things like this and you would simply put it this way”, the NICEIC stated 1 meter is a sensible distance to have an electrical switch from a sink like this, but that there is no regulation stating that the unit must be 50-60cm away. However, the point being made by the electrician here was that irrespective of the regulations, common sense should prevail and if Mr Larkin had used his common sense, he would not have located the switch here.

One full meter from the sink? How big do they think most kitchens are?

in that cas i am putting my sockets out side my kitchen window on IP65 RCD MK masterseals it the only way i will get the distance.
