Fire Fighter

This week we're on the banks of the River Tyne where our intrepid bodgers have to convert their roadworthy road hogs into ice cool fire trucks. Our extinguished guests have just eight hours in a Newcastle scrapyard to fabricate and forge their way to becoming the winners this week. There's everything to play for as the Knuckleheadz are only a point behind leaders Chaos Crew and a win for either Cops & Bodgers or Tartan Starlets could lift them right up the leader-board. The judge Our judge this week is Paul Curran, a divisional officer for the Tyne and Wear fire service. Paul began his career as a marine engineer working on oil tankers for about seven and a half years – so he knows a thing or two about bodging pumps. Paul has worked his way up the ranks during his 20 years in the Tyneside fire service and now looks after the Newcastle East area where our 'dockside inferno' takes place. Paul's also in charge of the Tyneside fire boat, so he'd be the first man on the scene if there were any blazes in the docks. Would our intrepid bodgers go out in a blaze of glory?
