Well Channel 4, that was a tad short on content. Not a patch on 20 mins worth of Harry's Garage on Youtube

Yes that's what I though Kev, bit of a let down really.

Recorded it and finally watched. Same thoughts that it was just too shallow for me. Things like mating chassis and engine for first time isn't something for TV unless you follow it through to prove it is productionised.
And as for that poor trim shop supervisor being told she can retrain to swing a spanner after 30 years experience hand trimming our cars. Just TV drama, and poor at that. Even if outsourced, their ambition is to multiply volumes by over 3 times, so wouldn't they be better staying in the trade? - or is it being outsourced to China

I've also just watched the recording. It was always going to be too superficial for us enthusiasts. It's more of something to get potential customers' interest and to build the brand.
I've no problem with it and I liked the shots of the Evija and seeing some of the background characters.

What car is that?
