Then you should be watching Titanic: The Mission on Channel 4 on Monday nights. As the blurb on the website says, "Four modern day engineers attempt to rebuild sections of the Titanic, using the tools and techniques of the early twentieth century" Smiley
Tonight's episode is based on the ships anchor, which was made in Netherton, just a mile or so up the road from where I work, so I'm expecting to see plenty of places I know! Cheesy I've worked with one of the four guys on the show, Luke Perry, on a local monument designed by one of my classes, so I was quite surprised to see him on TV last week! Shocked Cheesy
Well worth watching - it's nice to see a primetime TV slot featuring engineering!
