I 2/12. Back Street Mechanic. Assembled from scrap and cast offs from old mills and factories, Fred's garden was probably the finest working example of a steam-powered engineering workshop in the country. The mechanical and engineering skills he demonstrated in his garden combined with his ability to explain how things worked opened up the world of engineering history to a wider audience.

With contributions from, among others, Arthur Smith, Jenny Eclair, Nigel Slater, Sheila Hancock, Stuart Maconie, Rhona Cameron, Linda Robson and Stephanie Beacham.
Entertainment: Grumpy Old Holidays 10.00pm BBC2
Travel doesn't broaden the mind, according to these old grumblies, who have no problem venting their spleen on the subject of holidays: everything from the trauma of packing to the ritual of airport security checks and the horror that is other holiday-makers.
They're so vitriolic, you wonder why they bother trying to get away from it all - especially when there's a flight involved. Apart from Michael Winner, of course, because he recommends hiring your own jet (a mere £18,000 for a round trip to the south of France) or, on long-haul trips, "suffering bravely" in first class. Those of us in "cattle class" may prefer Jane Moore's suggestion that airlines should measure a traveller's bottom in the same way they measure their hand luggage to make sure it's not too big to fit on board.
