Which TV or Movie Engineer is your favourite and why?

Lisa Miles
A bit of Friday Fun for you all this Friday afternoon. smiley


I'm not sure if you'd agree with me but I think over recent years there's been an increase in the number of engineering related characters in TV programmes and movies. Probably with the intention of giving children positive role models for a career in Engineering perhaps? 


So who is your favourite (or least favourite!) TV or movie Engineer and why?


There's no prizes for guessing who mine is.... wink

    All a bit old I'm afraid (unless I get any inspirations while I'm writing this):

    Brains from Thunderbirds, not the best role model perhaps, but certainly influenced me and - big point - was proudly introduced in the opening titles of every episode as "Engineer: Brains"


    McGyver

    Barney from Mission Impossible (TV series)

    Ash from Hustle (not really an engineer, but could crack into anything)

    The 'A' team
    (oh dear, as a PRA and having a day job of assessing excellence on following standards and guidance and not "bodging" solutions, I'm not setting a good example here with this group...)


    The engineers in Apollo 13 - real (if fictionalised) people, and the example I often give school children of excellent real world problem solving


    I need to keep thinking...


    Cheers,


    Andy
