Mot-clé Rebuilding

En 1945, dans les décombres de Berlin. Susanne Wallner, une jeune photographe rescapée des camps, revient dans son appartement, qu'elle trouve occupé par Hans Mertens, un ancien soldat dépressif et alcoolique. Contre son gré, Susanne doit s'installer avec lui. Peu à peu, elle se découvre une profonde sympathie pour Mertens, qu'elle aide à se reconstruire. Un jour réapparaît l'officier qui commandait Mertens, un certain Ferdinand Brückner, qui a fait assassiner des civils sur le front russe en 1942 avant de se faire oublier à la faveur des troubles de l'après-guerre. Il gère désormais avec succès une petite entreprise de recyclage de vieux casques. Mertens, hanté par le souvenir des atrocités commises par Brückner, décide qu'il est temps que cet homme expie tous ses péchés. Il échafaude alors un plan visant à l'assassiner...

Tremé takes its name from a neighborhood of New Orleans and portrays life in the aftermath of the 2005 hurricane. Beginning three months after Hurricane Katrina, the residents of New Orleans, including musicians, chefs, Mardi Gras Indians, and other New Orleanians struggle to rebuild their lives, their homes and their unique culture.

In the first episode of Project Binky, we take a rotten old Austin Mini and strip it down to a bare shell. We then take an angle grinder to it and cut it to pieces. It's only then that the customised rebuilding process starts. We're trying to create one of the fastest Minis on the planet. We're going to rebuild it with the engine and running gear from a Toyota Celica ST185 GT4. Or at least that's the plan. Whether it comes off or not is another matter. We're filming this as it happens so what you see is only a few weeks behind where we're actually at so we're not sure yet whether we can do it. That's kind of the fun though. Stick with us through the highs and the lows of the project. Hopefully it'll be worth the agony and cash. Feel free to share it far and wide!

When we look around our homes, sheds and garages we see an array of household objects that with one click of a button or twist of a knob will spring to life, and - most of the time - do exactly what we want them to. But how on earth do these objects work? To find out, James May (fuelled by endless cups of tea) heads into his workshop with thousands of little pieces to assemble some of our most beloved and recognisable objects from scratch to see what it actually takes to get them to work.
