I'm enjoying this so far, seems aimed at about the right level. Luckily it's not supercar for dummies with that knob Hammond.

Fascinating program. Only thing I don't like is that the tone of the narrator a bit condescending, maybe Sean Bean would have been better!

Anyone at Mclaren watching this who has OCD is writing in to points of view already.

Not with Hammond, but some of the scripts explanations are, errr, interesting.

Pretty amazing that these normal seeming blokes/ladies end up producing such an amazing product. It looks very different from Toyota type factories.

Yep. fk me too!

I never knew a V8 was two four strokes bolted together. So that means you can have a V8 with sixteen cylinders? rolleyes

I can't place the narrator's voice, but I've definitely heard him before, and he always seems to talk bks

As puff pieces go, I'm finding this one quite interesting. The second brake pedal thing had obviously passed me by back in the day paperbag

He does the 'How it's made' type stuff on Discovery.

We've also just put the pistons in the head at the factory.

This sound bloke is annoying.

The acoustic guy doesn't sound too sure about himself. He doesn't like the sound of an esprit but drives a punto!?
