Glancing over the TV guide, I saw something that made me pause. The OH laughed at me as I enthusiastically exclaimed "Oh oh oh... look", tapping the page in front of me. Well, he stopped laughing when I told him which TV programme I'd gotten so excited over - Bigger, Better, Faster Stronger. A New Zealand show where they 'take everyday household items, look closely at the science involved in their inner workings, then set about re-modelling them to solve problems created by their inherent limitations'. And the theme of this week's episode? The vacuum cleaner.
The OH and I stared at each other, thinking the same thing. How many docos are there about vacuum cleaners? None that we've ever come across. We're recording it right now. We know a certain 7 year old who's going to go nuts over it :D
ooh, sounds great - did he like it?? :)
ReplyDeleteHe loved it. It starts off a bit slow (a bit wordy for a 7yo) and I thought it might lose him but he watched the whole thing. I think he particularly liked the end where they accidentally set one of the sets ablaze with their super-dooper jet engine vacuum cleaner ;) I just hope he doesn't get any ideas for DIY modifications on his own vac!
