I've just been watching a preview DVD of a program that goes out on
Tuesday on the Bravo channel called Man's Work. The idea of the show is
that scrawny wimp presenter tries out tough jobs to make him a real
man. In the first programme he goes fishing for Alaskan king crabs in
the Bering Sea.

The skipper of the boat he "works" on says the radar needs calibrating,
so would he mind putting on this tin-foil hat and gloves, and go stand
on the prow and wave his arms about. Amazingly, our not-too-bright
presenter does just as he is asked without question.
