Alex LoweHOST
many.
Jim StarlingHOST
They're those, these sort of fairly Heath Robinson looking multi-story car parks there, which are just full of Teslas and then literally like football fields full of them around it.
Jim StarlingHOST
And I went back down there about three weeks later and there were hardly any.
Jim StarlingHOST
Yep.
Penny SmithHOST
Yeah.
Penny SmithHOST
Who was Heath Robinson? That was what it used to be before it was Nick Park.
Penny SmithHOST
It was Heath Robinson and his marvellous creations.
Penny SmithHOST
I can't wait.
Penny SmithHOST
to see the latest Shaun the Sheep and the, is it The Beast of Mossy Bottom?
RachelHOST
So he's able to make all these strange kind of...
RachelHOST
Heath Robinson or Rube Goldberg type things from Michael.
RachelHOST
You mean Rube Goldberg,
RuthHOST
not Rude
Reece ShearsmithGUEST
And it'll be reported in a funny way, I suspect, because it's almost, like, absurd.
Reece ShearsmithGUEST
Um, and so in, in a sort of, uh, Heath Robinson type set of circumstances where one thing leads to another, it's h- it's the summertime.
Reece ShearsmithGUEST
Someone asks for ano- another table for the air con to be turned up, and the air con is above me.
Reece ShearsmithGUEST
It starts rattling away 'cause it gets it overpowered.
DonPANELIST
Or the plan was rather chaotic, so he seems to want to try.
DonPANELIST
And I know that might be exciting and we're trying to find our feet, Baz, but he does seem to try three or four plans in one game, which is when you've got a sort of defence that's been taken apart because of the transfers and you're trying to rebuild it, And alongside that sort of chaos, you know, with that as well, I don't know, it all feels a bit, I was going to say Heath Robinson, but no one will understand what that means.
DonPANELIST
But, you know, it's a bit sort of DIY.
DonPANELIST
So I thought the difference between Schalke and us, because it could have been a draw, was they definitely had a game plan and they stuck to it and it bore fruit.
RossHOST
The coffee maker sprays all over your face.
TomHOST

MarkHOST
The same people that understand what Heath Robinson means.
Natalie CassidyHOST

Natalie CassidyHOST
Stop there.
Natalie CassidyHOST
Stop right there.

Charlie MayhewGUEST
But the mechanical team were amazing.
Charlie MayhewGUEST
They managed to create a Heath Robinson with ropes and using the odd tree to help... pivot and stretch bits of metal and bend the vehicle back into some sort of shape so that we could keep on going.
Charlie MayhewGUEST
And that vehicle did make its way all the way back down to Cape Town, even though it was slightly crabbing down the road every day.
Charlie MayhewGUEST
But, you know, we had that problem.
Chris TerrillNARRATOR
Cutting edge just 12 years ago, these early portable satellites were awkward and unpredictable.
Chris TerrillNARRATOR
It was like a Heath Robinson
speaker_34UNKNOWN
contraption.
speaker_34UNKNOWN
You had to put up this umbrella satellite dish and point it at the... find the satellite in the sky and wait for it to lock on.
TobiasHOST
Yeah
Steven WilsonGUEST
... old-fashioned, um, you know, Heath Robinson kind of a way, which immediately has character.
