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

    You can have that one then Andy, although I'm not feeling that generous  -  'cos  of your last but one post, I now have Jethro Tull's "Living in the Past" going round my head in an infinite loop. It's a great record to be sure, but I need my brain to think about other stuff tonight!


    All the best

    I shouldn't have read your posts - I've got it now....

    Regarding all these series from long ago, I remember them too - even the Aeronauts, though I didn't remember the title. I certainly remember the Mirage pilots and their flights over Algeria during that countries battle for independence, though of course being made for children/teenagers there was no actual killing involved in the stories, just plots like pilots having to eject and make their way back to base through the Atlas mountains.

    Thinking about the difference between living in the past and the present, perhaps I should share a sign I saw in a bookshop in Wigtown (Scotland's Book Town) which said "Since the US Presidential Election, post-apocalyptic literature is now located in Current Affairs".

    Hi Alasdair,


    "Since the US Presidential Election, post-apocalyptic literature is now located in Current Affairs". Really? That is both very funny and very frightening.


    Thanks, I think!


    All the best


    David
