Guy's Great British Power Trip sees the Lincolnshire lorry mechanic and motorcycle racer investigate the past, present and future of British energy, to work out how the country makes its power and why it costs so much. He’ll work hands on at every stage of the energy production process – from inside the boiler at the country’s biggest power station, to the top of the highest pylons, to the most advanced nuclear fusion lab in the world where he’ll conduct an experiment that will bring the world one step closer to unlimited, clean energy. a b c d e Fox-Leonard, Boudicca (10 November 2015).

In 2009 Martin contested all three Internationals as well as selected British Championship and Irish National races. In a move from previous seasons, Martin moved away from the main Hydrex team, preferring instead to run a smaller, close knit team and after a steady North West 200 meeting, confidence was high going into the TT, his number one event of the year, as he sought to win a race at the 37.73 mile circuit on the Isle of Man.

Retrieved 26 October 2017 This first episode begins with Guy testing every piece of equipment in his own workshop to find out which items use the most electricity. Horrified by what he’s now having to pay for power, Guy tries to work out the reasons behind his big bills. He starts at his local power station – which also happens to be the country’s biggest. He works deep inside Drax in Yorkshire, operating its mills and boilers to see how the wood pellets it burns are actually turned into electricity – and finds out why that process is so controversial. Along the way on his energy adventure, Guy climbs to the top of a pylon to try his hand at being an electrical grid linesman, one of the riskiest maintenance jobs in the world, before then helping an explosives team demolish one of Britain’s oldest coal-burning power stations – moving the country closer to Net Zero emissions in the most spectacular way possible. Beyond the pranks and the derring-do, Our Guy in Colombia has a serious message. Decades after the death of Escobar and the period chronicled by Netflix’s Narcos, cocaine continues to run through the bloodstream of Colombia’s economy. In 2017, the country produced 70 per cent of the world’s cocaine. In 2021 alone, the total area harvested for coca leaves grew 41 per cent. This directly impacts normal people: the murder rate in 2022 was 26 per 100,000 compared with 1.1 in the UK. Cocaine is an industry forged in blood and suffering. McNair, Andrew (14 November 2014).

[4] Writing [ edit ] On 26 July 2017, it was officially announced that Guy Martin had retired from motorcycle racing. In an exclusive interview with the Motorcycle News Martin said:Racing's been good to me, but I'm bored of it. You spend the early part of the year preparing for the season – testing, racing, talking about it, and then doing it all over again. It's like Groundhog Day. It's time to stop.

Driving almost the full length of the TT course (joining at Quarterbridge garage and finishing at Governor's Bridge), he said he was impressed at how fast it really was, reaching 180mph down Sulby Straight and becoming airborne at Ballacrye corner, resulting in "something like a 22-minute lap". [33] On 27 May, police confirmed that after taking advice from the Attorney General's Chambers, they would be taking no further action, while reminding residents and visitors that "Where there is no upper speed limit, road users must at all times be aware that there is a fine line between what is fast and what is dangerous." [131] A few days later in a radio interview, Martin repeated the claims, and stated he had not broken the law as he had only reached high speeds on derestricted roads (i.e., those with no upper speed limit).
