Synopsis
Impossibly large structures... Teams with a mission to move them! This is the kind of daunting challenge facing teams of building movers from the UK, America and Canada.
Episode 4 : Total Towns
June. 19,2010
On Vancouver Island, Canada a team of marine engineers led by visionary developer Mark Lindholm attempt to build and move a series of giant Floating Mansions to form a unique waterborne community. But can they haul the 85-ton luxury aquatic homes through 200 miles of treacherous seas from the construction site to their moorings without them sailing off course?
In Denver, Colorado we reveal how a team of leading skyscraper engineers are turning vertical construction methods horizontal to build, move and assemble an entire town of homes in record time. Will David and Roger Cohen’s radical ideas of building the world’s first full size house factory to create a town in record time transform how communities are created in the future?
Episode 3 : Massive Machines
June. 12,2010
In England we follow heavy hauler Alf Arnold who faces the unenviable task of moving £20million worth of pristine rolling stock 200 miles across the UK for London’s Underground. Once they reach the city, he has to thread each of the 18 carriages down a narrow hole in the road in the correct order onto the track. Will they get the line up and running in time?
In Manitoba, Canada, we chart the emotional journey of husband and wife wreck chasers Pat Madden and Annette Spaulding as they attempt to lift a long lost aircraft off the bottom of a Lake. Can the team haul the aircraft out of the water before winter strikes?
Episode 2 : Colossal Churches
May. 22,2010
In Iowa, we follow the remarkable cross-country trek of Trinity Lutheran Church. Over years, the church’s congregation had shrunk from 250 to just 13. The parishioners decided to disband the church but save the building. Topped with a 100ft steeple, we follow Ron Holland haul the pristine structure twelve miles across rolling hills to the town of Manning.
In Sarasota, Florida we follow structural mover Brett Johnson and his sons dis-assemble the iconic Crocker Church and Rectory to move though the crammed downtown streets in the dead of night for preservation. Can the team dismantle the church’s fragile steeple for the move without it falling apart?

In St Louis, Missouri we follow John Matyiko of Expert House Movers, relocate an Entire Farm Complex of Historic Structures - including a 500 tonne Stone Farmhouse - for Rose Heet’s family who are being forced off their land to make way for a shopping complex. Can the team move and save the whole farmstead before the developers move in?
In New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, we follow father and son move team Phil and Jason Leil slice and dice a huge period home into four pieces to move twenty miles across town for the owner who wants to eliminate her daily commute and live closer to her workplace. Can they dismantle, move and re-assemble the whole structure before bad weather strikes?

Bad Obsession Motorsport - Project Binky
In the first episode of Project Binky, we take a rotten old Austin Mini and strip it down to a bare shell. We then take an angle grinder to it and cut it to pieces. It's only then that the customised rebuilding process starts.
We're trying to create one of the fastest Minis on the planet. We're going to rebuild it with the engine and running gear from a Toyota Celica ST185 GT4. Or at least that's the plan. Whether it comes off or not is another matter.
We're filming this as it happens so what you see is only a few weeks behind where we're actually at so we're not sure yet whether we can do it. That's kind of the fun though. Stick with us through the highs and the lows of the project. Hopefully it'll be worth the agony and cash. Feel free to share it far and wide!
