The Iron Man isn”t scary – he”s just very, very hungry . . .
It”s not until he starts chomping on fence posts and tractors that he comes to the attention of the angry farmers – who trap him in a hole with the help of a little boy called Hogarth. He resurfaces again, upturning picnickers.
So Hogarth comes up with a plan – it turns out that the scrap yard, with its metal bedsteads, broken down cars and old cookers is the perfect home.
