how do you take? If there's lemon in your order, you're BANNED.

One thing is bothering me: why are you called Gary Yoghurt?

I agree, but iced chocolate milk is a myth. Like the unicorn. Or the heavy-metal mermaids they paint on the sides of Chevy DayVans.

Well, there's no product placement… a for … uh… a higher level of intellectual rigour, well… there isn't any. I can tell you this, though: if you need to know how not to engineer anything safely, then this is the show for you. Public information for ghetto engineers.*

There is no such thing.

We've only got Diet Pepsi and some sort of cherry liquor that was left over from Christmas in 1989? At least I think it's cherry.

Does anyone else want one while I've got the kettle on?

I think I'm early. I shall go and make tea...

I don't do the casting - what the hell did you do? (a lot of it was timings and stuff to be honest. Or they were afraid you were journalists or something. Journalists are terrifying).

Ah well, the good thing about TV is that it isn't compulsory …

It's got some Texans in it. Does that make it any better?

'Subieracer'?? Ok, so you're a Subaru fetishist who drives Time Attack? There's only one girl I know like that … Hello you. Don't lie to anyone - the show will suck, but in a funny way!

It is quite lame in parts. But if you've ever built anything and didn't have twelvety-billion dollars to make it, refine it and test it, you'll know that sometimes they … don't work. In on episode I spent 14hrs making a giant hammer and then it failed just as we needed it. Also, Jonny and I have a shit sense of humour…

More like a mixture of children's TV and Backdraft. It's not exactly highbrow, and more than a little stupid. I am allowed to say that, mind, because a) it's true and b) I'm one of the hosts.
