Mechannibals

Mechannibals was a television game show aired on the British television channel BBC Two in 2005. It was made by the independent production company IWC Media. The host was Louise Brady. The show was sometimes likened to Channel 4's Scrapheap Challenge or the earlier BBC series The Great Egg Race, it centred around taking two families from the same area and setting them a task to create some form of machine. The contestant families were required to create it using only parts found in their home. Machines created include a shed destroyer, a beer chiller and a food cooking and preparing machine. The finished creations were then judged by people who have some knowledge about the subject. The winning family was then given enough money to replace all their used equipment with top-of-the-range alternatives. The other family however was left merely with a toolbox.

The Armstrongs

The Armstrongs is a British television drama/documentary series broadcast on the BBC in the UK. The Armstrongs is an access-all-areas insight into the unorthodox and sometimes ruthless business antics that are par for the course at "U-Fit", Coventry's third-biggest double glazing company. The show is narrated by actor Bill Nighy. This was the second TV outing for the Armstrongs. The first was in a one-off documentary in 2003 called "The Office Christmas Party", which showed the preparations for U-Fit's Christmas party. There is some discussion as to whether it is a true fly-on-the wall documentary, a fictional comedy with an elaborately constructed presence on the internet, or a mixture of the two. Note that U-Fit the company appears in the online Yellow Pages.
