Restoration team help tractors owners realise their dreams
PICK OF THE WEEK: Tricked-out Tractors, Wednesday, BBC One NI, 8.30pm
B
BC Northern Ireland’s motoring
series, Tricked-Out Tractors is
back.
Master mechanic Tylor Cartin
from Claudy, County Londonderry,
restoration guru Stephen Lennon from
Loughbrickland in County Down, and
machinery specialist Darren Bailey from
Portlaoise, County Laois, are once again
on a mission to find and restore some of
the most sought after tractors around, in
a new three-part series.
Watch as the team helps tractor owners
realise their dreams while getting their
hands even dirtier than before. The
team shares their expertise, in a bid
to transform the ultimate farmyard
vehicles.
Following on from series one, the
Tricked-Out Tractors’ gang continues to
restore beloved vintage tractor models,
build custom, one-of-a-kind monster
machines, and craft bespoke rebuilds.
Together the trio of petrol heads have
been working on even more complicated
CONSPIRACY
thriller based on
the events of the
‘Climategate’
scandal in 2009.
Professor Phil
Jones and his team
of climatologists at the University of
East Anglia find that their work has
been hacked by climate change deniers
and turned into the first big fake-news
story. The deniers and corporations
with vested interests skillfully create
the image of climate change as a
conspiracy being perpetrated by
academic scientists.
Although an inquiry concludes that
there was no case for Jones and his
team to answer, it has taken a decade
for the public perception of the veracity
of climate change to recover.
tractor builds, ground-up restorations
with cutting-edge designs, all while
taking on the pressures of hard to get
parts and difficult deadlines.
Viewers will see the team go wild with
paint schemes, get hands on with engine
upgrades, have fun out-and-about on the
race track and even hit the air and sea.
As Stephen gets stuck in at the
workshop, Darren sets off to find some
unusual parts for an agricultural vehicle
and Tylor travels to England for a very
special event. From an American eightwheel tractor, to an eclectic ‘70s paint
job, to one of the first Lamborghini
models produced, the TOT workshop
once again has been graced with some of
the most sought-after tractors around.
TOT TEAM: Darren Bailey, a machinery
specialist from Portlaoise, County Laois;
master mechanic Tylor Cartin, from Claudy,
County Londonderry, and restoration guru
Stephen Lennon from Loughbrickland in
County Down.

CATCH-UP: The Trick,
BBC iPlayer
is getting into the
spooky spirit of
things. Agnes is
ready for the trick
or treaters, but
she gets more than
she bargained for
when she receives
a surprising visitor
from her past.
When no one else
can see her ghostly
guest they think
she’s gone mad - not
even Doctor Flynn
can help.
Luckily, Father
Damien is on hand
and with a little
help from Grandad
they get rid of the
unwanted guest in
time to head down
to Foley’s for a fancy
dress party.
IT’S understood the climate
crisis will disproportionately
disrupt the lives of women
around the globe. Kim
Chakanetsa talks to two
female climate scientists
about the work they do
and the impact of changing weather
patterns on women.
As the primary food growers and
water collectors, women are hardest
hit by floods and droughts. They’re
also less financially equipped to flee
when natural disaster strikes, and
vulnerable to gender-based violence.
Professor Asmeret Asefaw Berhe
is a biogeochemist – a soil scientist
– at the University of California,
Merced. Her research is focused on
understanding how disturbances in
the environment affect the cycles of
essential elements such as carbon
and nitrogen through the soil system.
While extreme weather events often
result in the degradation of soil, she
says effective land restoration could
play an important role in sequestering
CO2 and slowing climate change.
