I do apologise for the delay in replying we have has an awesome response to the series and are ploughing our way through emails! Glad you enjoyed the programme there is still a lot more to come! We all had a ball but there was an awful lot of hard work. I reckon Tom and Barbara have a lot to answer for!
The chap who conducted the green audit was Donnachadh McCarthy - his book is 'Saving the planet without costing the earth' can be bought via his website http://www.3acorns.co.uk but it doesn't cover what he has done to his house. The BBC didn't manage to pull together a website for the series so , in addition to the book (due out 13 April), we are building our own www.itsnoteasybeinggreen.org and some of it is available now. We have included some details not covered in the series and some links to the people we bought from so you may find it useful. Most of the ideas we try in Cornwall can be applied to any house in the country
Hope you find it useful
Thanks very much for getting in touch. All the very best
Dick

Presumably a standard reply due to the positive response, as there's no word about Scrapheap' :wink:
And mentioning that august programme, was't it funny how a neighbour just happened to have a step-up gearbox in the garden? :lol:

Well, at least he'll be at home in it :lol:
And if he raids all the Fish (& do-nut) shops simply around the St Austell area, he ought to be able to run it & have fuel to spare
Bush Tucker Man:
Don't forget!
Tuesday 18th.
BBC 2 @ 20:30
Dick px's his Audi for a 90, & converts it to run on recycled Vegetable Oil.
I want to read lots of reviews after the show :wink:
By The way, did you all know that Dick has a MBE?
Edited to alter time
Bush Tucker Man:
Dick & the 'Brothers In Arms' were on Channel 4 at 05:30-ish this morning.
They repeated a Scrapheap Challenge final between the 'Brothers' & the 'Meglomaniacs' (Nosher & crew)
It was the drag-racing one, where Dick does it in reverse after blowing the transmission :lol:
