    Well anyone watch it?

    Twas cheap and er cheerful. They clearly didn't have the time/money/wit to do as much script planning as they should have or indeed reshoot one tracking shot which featured a blot on the lens! Cars featured were Austin Allegro, Jag E type, inter-war Astons, 59 Caddy.

    I missed it. Though from your comments Mike, it was'nt really worth seeing then?

    I watched a few of these when they were first shown. They tend to stretch out the features to fill the hour without really saying anything. A bit amateurish but at least someone is making programmes about classics again!

    I seem to remember Chris Serle doing a show in the early 80's called "In at the Deep End" where he actually navigated for Roger Clark in the RAC rally in a David Sutton Escort Mk2. Roger was on the pipeand Chris was doing ok until they missed a turnoff on the motorway and ended up loosing a load of time and incurring penalties... Roger didnt suffer fools gladly and wouldnt speak to Chris for 2 days after it....:eek: from memory they ended up 10th or sommit.

    I think John Taylor was on the program and was doing doughnuts around Serles feet while giving him tips on rallying.....:D

    Id love to see that episode again... Must check the net when I get home

    Does anyone else remember this episode...?
