All the shows were great ... I think it's more that over time, Alton grew into his role and got wackier ... and as the producers trusted his instincts for science AND humour

Am I the only one who thinks that young Alton looks a little bit like Matt Damon?

I believe he always says to use the handguard, but he doesn't like the handguard and so got the kevlar gloves (drools) but if you don't have kevlar gloves..like me...then use the handguard. unless you don't like your fingers..

@Lisanab And do remember, the first 3 episodes were made by Alton with NO professional tv people or equipment.

I thought I was the only weirdo who likes a few lumps in his mash.  Now just need a few bangers (sausage.)
