So I missed a whole series then? Aww, rats! :( :oops:
Yes, I think the Dino is a new episode on Freeview, Ed's grown a bit more and Mike, bless him, looks like he's filled out a bit. The perils of sitting around in greasy spoons, ringing the advertisers in the Auto Trader. Fair play to him for not just using the table to work at and then leaving without eating a massive fry up, that would be a bit too cheeky.

I'm sure the dino is from a couple of years ago. Aren't they all on youtube?

:| Quite possibly, but you have to bear in mind that I spend much of my time in 1974 and only visit the 21st century occasionally.

I expect that Quest will repeat the series very soon - they often do a whole morning - or afternoon - of things like that and Salvage Hunters at weekends or Bank Holidays, so there's a chance that it will be on quite soon!

There are times I wish I was back in 1974 - I had one of my more enjoyable jobs at that time and even had some disposable income (that all went into the old Hornet!). I'm sure TV was a lot more entertaining though the special effects weren't as great (or did all Mk2 Jags lose their engines when they went over piers and into the water?) OTOH, inflation was horrendous (and fixed pay rises!) and food was relatively expensive - and I was just starting to suffer with the "Big C"!
