Classic Car Rescue, tonight 8pm, C5.
Discussion
I agree that there seemed fewer "fake situations" than in the last series - maybe they've listened to criticisms. Still a bag of crap as a serious documentary, but a good laugh for anybody interested in cars.
The opening shots had me laughing - these 2 classic car enthusiasts, with all their years of experience, were driving a P6 with illegal number plates. And is it just me, but does the voiceover seem like it's been done by the local 6th form college as a project?
The paintwork was oh so flat.... could have been better with a Halfords aerosol. And the constant reference to Porsche being famous for V8 engines! What research did they do, if any?
(Oh, and Paul O'Neill - I'm sure he's a nice guy and all that, but what are his REAL credentials? they said he had a wealth of experience in the classic car market, but it's news to me. He's still young, and spent many years in racing, which doesn't leave much time for dealing in cars. Load of BS I reckon - the producers thought he might attract viewers.)

The voiceover is poor, its also very dumbed down it seems to act as an audio track for people who can't watch a sort of "audio signing" for blind people or stupid ones.The opening shots had me laughing - these 2 classic car enthusiasts, with all their years of experience, were driving a P6 with illegal number plates.

However dumbed down voice overs are everywhere. It looks like this series has sat on the shelf for a while.
What year was it? Some had 350 bhp ish I'm sure, probably had a replacement later engine if too early. I also wonder if the coolant pipe incident (if real) was the reason it was in the yard in the first place, and it will be forever popping and splitting coolant hoses for the lucky winner!
