Red Dwarf star visits Vobster Quay...

Vobster Quay recently played host to TV's Chris Barrie, star of the BBC's
Red Dwarf, Brittas Empire and - of course - the popular Tomb Raider movies.
Chris was onsite for the filming of Massive Machines, a documentary series
currently being aired on the Discovery Channel. For his visit to Vobster,
Chris got the chance to explore Vobster in a submarine!

Each episode explores a particular type of 'massive machine' - previous
episodes have covered Cranes, Trains, Tanks and Bombers. For the final
episode on submarines, a large crane was brought in to lower a two-man
submarine into the waters of Vobster Quay. After all the usual safety
checks, Chris took a tour around the aircraft cockpit and other Vobster
diving attractions.

The episode Massive Machines:Submarines is being aired on the Discovery
Channel on December 7th 2004 at 8:30pm.

Nice bloke isn't he.

We've just made an episode of that programme around Portland with a WW2
DUKW.

This post is sort of diving related. Chris wore a couple drysuits during
filming and shopped at our dive shop 'PORTLAND OCEANEERING'

That's www.portlandoceaneering.co.uk Nothing like a free bit of advertising
as long as it's relevant to the original post eh!

Am I breaking any rules with this post??????????

It would only break the rules if it was blatant advertising. The
tenuous scuba link (he called in your shop - PORTLAND OCEANEERING with
a web site www.portlandoceaneering.co.uk) saved you from that obvious
trap.

Well done in not spamming us.

BTW, I don't suppose the drysuit you refer to just happens to be an O'three,
does it? I noticed the pic of Chris on the O'three gallery page the other
day...
