There was a series transmitted sometime in the late nineties, I can't remember what channel it was on. It was about a crew of people who would repair/reconstruct old stuff. Each of them had a specialty, electrical, mechanical etc. The first programme I saw had them rebuild a traction engine. They had to build a boiler for it from scratch, rolling the boiler and hot riveting the whole thing together. Pretty sweet industrial revolution elbow grease. Yeah.

I'd love to see it again, but I haven't had any luck finding the name of the series.

UK Teotians with large brains, please help.

No, that wasn't it. The next one I recall they repaired a steam sports car that had been sitting there for thirty years mouldering.

Nope, that wasn't it. It was a full-on thirty ton traction engine they were working on.

I remember their faces and I am sure that a 'B' list celeb helped them and presented the show.....but I can't think what it was called

Yes, that's it!
How the hell could I forget Suggs was in it?
*griffin rounds up his remaining brain cells and gives them a stern lecture on their responsibilities, involving lots of finger pointing and frowny faces*
