- A white-haired older man with a stubbled beard in a flat cap, shown head and shoulders and centred in a basement boiler room, a kitchen and an armchair room. Thumbnails add a cream knit jumper and plaid collar.
- Format
Recent videos: a spoken hook (a winter blackout or a cost problem), a presenter intro, a worked example in a Boston colonial, a five-point safety list, then a weekend task, a subscribe prompt and a comment question.
