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

    It is interesting. When I was growing up we had the crew of Discovery One (2001: A Space Odyssey) . And in fact the book "The Lost Worlds of 2001" was pivotal reading for me as it expanded the backstories and all the fun and exciting things you might hope to do with an interest in STEM.


    I still read tons of sci-fi, but I don't watch it really - too much space opera! I really enjoyed Interstellar and the Matthew McConaughey;s character - Cooper - was an excellent role model for engineering: sort of reminded me of Cyrus Smith from Jules Verne's book "The Mysterious Island".  There, that's my serious bit for this year.


    Cheers
