Here’s a dull but worthy story for a Monday morning. In fact, it’s so dull, we went off and spent an hour looking at Friends Reunited in the middle of
writing it.
So apparently, a bloke from Plymouth is starring in BBC1’s Mission Africa. We haven’t seen it but it’s a documentary series following 15 strapping construction apprentices creating a sustainable game reserve in Sera, Kenya. That’s the worthy part.
But who is this aforementioned bloke? Why it’s non other than Scott MacMillan! He was given the chance to ’star’ in the series through his work as an electrical apprentice with national building services provider, NG Bailey. That’s the dull part.
Though we shouldn’t be too scathing. The construction trainees are
working with Sera’s locals to build an eco-lodge and refurbish water supplies, as well as helping to re-train rangers and relocate wildlife to the new reserve. A damn sight more useful than D+CFilm’s sarky musings.
Speaking about his experience, Scott said: “Taking part in the show has been an amazing experience and it’s a great feeling to know I’ve helped the locals by providing them with a sustainable livelihood.
“The project has also taught me some really valuable skills that will help me in my current role at NG Bailey and in my future career in construction.”
Yada yada. You can catch Mission Africa (should you so wish) tonight, and every Monday night, on BBC1 at 7pm. We’ll probably give it a miss, to be honest.
And just so this post isn’t a complete waste of time, click below to watch a trailer for The Bourne Ultimatum (out August 17).
