The Classic Car Show - Channel 5
Discussion
Nothing new, but still really enjoyed it.
Apart from Jodie speaking so sloooowwwwwllyyyy......
I'm assuming that she started off a bit excitable and nervous and has been told by producers to slow down, but has gone a bit far. Hopefully will improve as she normally comes across as very likeable when I have seen her interviewed in the past.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt irritated by that!A good show as it concentrated on the cars rather than the 'jolly japes' of Top Gear. I would have liked to have seen under the bonnet of the California (and the ratty old Mustangs). Will definitely watch it again.
Not bad, liked the articles about the Mustang, TR7*, old adverts, barn find, Ferrari California. Didn't like QW's interactive screen; rather see a bit of footage of a Bentley Turbo R than a cheesy graphic. Pity the piece about the Z-list celebs was interrupted by a couple of old motors, but hey-ho! Presentation was stilted beyond belief, they need to relax, stop trying to talk in soundbites.
- poor red-headed stepchild of the sportscar sector. If it had a V8 option right from the start it might have been better received, although that wouldn't have solved BL's problems.
I quite enjoyed it, however somebody posted earlier that this was a show that had been punted around a few channels before C5 picked it up.
To me it had the feel of a pilot episode about it, it will be interesting to see if the content remains as good throughout the series. Also, I'm not sure there will be enough advertising revenue to sustain it in the long run, as it doesn't look as cheap to make as some of 5s other output. Which is a shame as it has potential, it's just I'm not really sure where it's home is.

I got that impression as well. If it lasts more than one series I'll be surprised. Possibly if they linked it up with a 'restoration' programme* it might have legs.To me it had the feel of a pilot episode about it, it will be interesting to see if the content remains as good throughout the series.

- but please, NOT with Mawio and Bernie...
Well it was lovely (mostly) old motors on tv, so I'll watch again. I usually like QW but they both seemed very wooden and forced with little chemistry between them. Will it get better? Remember it was filmed last year so hopefully they improved as they went along.
The interactive screen that QW used to talk about values was just silly CGI gimmicky rubbish. Pointless. Info good, medium pointless. Although those bargains and possible price rises he was pointing out last night were actually...last Summer some time? So they're out of date surely.

We shouldn't complain about programmes that try to cover things we are interested in but have to agree with some of the posts. The presenting is AWFUL! I don't really understand why they had to drag Mr Wilson out. He is mega slimey and just gives everything a dodgy feel. Terrible leg crossing at the beginning like he was busting for a pee! I think to be fair to Jodie Kidd she is probably struggling with having to work with him and that's making her a bit tedious. They should have gone for some fresh blood but probably, mistakenly thought this pair were bankable.
I'm hoping it will get better.

I like the fact that it's a show dedicated to classic cars so I can't complain too much, but like others have said the studio bits were cringy and I'm not a massive fan of QW or Jodie. I did really like the Alex Riley segment though with the TR7 I like his thinking and look forward to see what else he brings.
Overall though I would much rather it be a British equivalent of Chasing Classic Cars, I prefer the format and the fact it doesn't feel as dumbed down.

Nice to see the Studebaker. Always liked the distinctive design of the Hawks. I think it's because it featured in a "... Book of Cars" I had when I was a little kid.
Then I saw one being driven round my home town in the '70s (although that was the base model Flight Hawk with a flathead straight-6), and I found out that the Golden Hawk had a 275bhp 352ci V8...
