“This Farmer Grows Robots”

Paul Merton interviews Mr Wu, a farmer who makes brilliant “robots out of rubbish.” Everything from vintage style tin walkers to a man-sized ridable robot rickshaw that talks.

The best part of the segment comes from the inventor’s wife, Mrs Wu. Speaking after one of Mr Wu’s robots recently burned the family home to ground, “Other people’s husbands, they are busy making money, or looking after the wife and children,” she complains. ” The only thing on his mind is making robots.”
