Dispatches: The Great Car Con

JPF82 · 25-01-2015 2:25pm #1

Dispatches on channel 4 on Monday night. Looking at the uptake in diesel cars.

Just giving the info. Don't want it to be another diesel v petrol argument.

TV set to record it.

Hopefully FG won't be watching it looking for more ways to generate cash from the motorist.

Set to record too, cheers
Love a good aul program about the average motorist "Oh I bought a TDI to drive down the shops and to mass, and for de cheep taaax"

Giving this a bump for those who are interested. It's on at 8pm on channel 4 tonight.

Will probably be shown again tomorrow/in a few days on More4/More4+1/4Seven.

It was poor enough tbh.

I hate these new docs that take 1hr to tell you something they could in 15mins.

ITS PURE RUBBISH its more about how diesels are bad for your health

JPF82 · 26-01-2015 9:34pm

It was weak alright. It covers the usual facts that we all know / hear about.

There should have been more mention of the alternatives to diesel such as Electrics / hybrids etc.

^^^^^
You don't say!

Those Hydrogen fuel discs look the part, can store surplus electric and become inflammable when stored in what looks like very large cookies, all a 'fair few years away' yet though.

Thank God it was only 25 minutes long then

What I got from it is diesel is good for mpg and CO2 emissions but bad for your health, particularly if your a driver in traffic around them.

TBH the show didn't show anything new and just seemed to be more interested in pointing fingers at politicians for pushing people into the cars.
