doctors on bbc1 - marse miner storyline

[xpress]

hi there. here's how the storyline went. as far as i can gather, (i came into this late, i promise you, i am not a "doctors" watcher), the old guy couldn't get his marse miner started, and this younger guy got it started and said to him, "it's the coil".

i can see BMC shouting at the tv with his pipe and slippers .. "it's hardly ever the coil !!!"

(ps it was a blue marse miner)..

What's "marse"? Where can it be mined - deep or open cast? Is it valuable? Why was the miner blue - was he cold or having a heart attack? Sounds like a strange programme

You're a strange lad xpress....... And - if he got it running it obviously WASN'T the coil..............

Loose connection to the coil iirc.

i do have to say, though, when Steph broke down on the way home from the national, it ACTUALLY WAS THE COIL!
a replacement, and it ran fine!

oh well, it made me laugh anyway! couldnt' believe it when that popped up, quite surreal. yes, he did say, "loose connection to the coil!"

[bmcecosse]

Thank goodness it wasn't the coil then...........
