I ignored it and watched the Goodwood Revival programme from last week on Catch up TV instead, much better! :D

I thought that the Goodwood Revival programme was excellent, and the racing looked spectacular! I definitely want to go to Goodwood for the revival next year!
As regards 'Classic Car Rescue', that episode was no better than the first. I thought that the car looked very poor, even if it weren't that disastrous colour!
 
Or you keep your comedy simple, like the Chuckle Brothers.
If Bernie ever says either "To me" or "To you" or "When I nod my head, hit it" I'll crack a rib laughing.

Careful John if he reads this he may sign you up as his script writer :LOL:
A friend of mine worked with him on his other show, chop shop and said he was a nightmare and a few other things that I can't write here :mrgreen:

You could watch it - there are websites that allow you to download British TV. I have been toying with the idea of downloading this myself but have been put off by the comments here.

Now that John has suggested it as an updated adult(ish) version of the Muppets I am considering giving it a chance... Can anyone be as bad as Mike "old owt yer 'and" Brewer? (And yet I still watch Wheeler Dealers :oops: )
 
We can't watch any of the UK channel online stuff here - all the iplayer or on demand stuff is blocked cos we're foreigners. The only way is to find a website that allows you to download bit torrent files and other technical witchcraft.

Probably not worth the effort then, unless you are into the witchcraft thing :LOL:

To be honest I wasn't sure if you 'foreigners' would be allowed to watch it, maybe it is their way of saving you from the torture!!! :shock:
 
We will be able to watch it on National Public Television 7-10 years from now , as we are now getting 10 year old comedy series , and Doc Martin.

It makes Wheeler Dealers look like Shakespear by comparison.
 
Oi! leave me out of it, and there's an 'e' on the end of Shakespeare the way we spell it, :LOL:

Too late John...

I downloaded and watched the E-type episode... come back Mike Brewer, all is forgiven...
 
I've only gone and done it again an watched this weeks episode :roll:

Yet again more pointless drama especially the 'rotten' suspension dropping out from under the car, and what I don't understand is why they filled in the factory sunroof because it affected the value yet left the E-type aftermarket sunroof in place because it was 'too much work' to fill it in :!:

I must not watch it next week.....I must not watch it next week.....I must not watch it next week.....I must not watch it next week.....
 
I haven't laughed as much for a long time especially the voice over describing an MGB, the ground breaking chassis and suspension (my ribs, stop it :LOL: ). The lovely people driving them in the 70's.
Add that the two Muppets paid £500 for a rubber bumpered rotbox GT and then trucked it from deepest Wales, the spares dealer sold them bumpers and brackets for £30 and bullet mirrors for £3. This week combined Hans Christian Anderson with the Chuckle Brothers, brilliant. :LOL: The valuer who was so glad to see one without a Webasto roof, no mention of the fact it was still on its rubber bumper off road suspension. I'm still smiling now.

It's like watching a slow motion train wreck - you know it's going to end badly, but you just can't stop watching.

Bernie is growing on me a little - a bit like a fungus - he reminds me of Fagin in Oliver Twist... the Canadian chap gives me the creeps though :shock:

Thanks to John :D , I have now watched the Porsche episode and I am waiting for the latest offeringto become available over here.

... which magically turned into new repro ones when they were being fitted.
But not as magically as the rear leaf springs which snapped off square leaving eye-less stubs almost as if someone had taken an angle grinder to them.

Same here........it's getting almost like a soap opera......... I'm begining to see the funny side of it now and just watch it for a laugh, it obviously isn't going to teach us anything useful :LOL:
 
It's educational... Well it's taught me a lesson!

It's like our canteen, you have to go occasionally to remind yourself why you don't go there :)

I'm pretty sure that the 'finished' car was not the original one. It looked to have a different dashboard for a start. Also, the trade plates very neatly covered the number when on the road. :roll:

Still, it's entertaining, but in a perverse sort of way... :mrgreen:
