Its very much a UK version of Overhaulin' even down to the 'you've been Car SOS'd' which REALLY doesn't work. The blagging by Tim has got annoying but apart from that a good watch. Could still do with showing more of the fixes but the same goes for just about all the other fix em up car programmes.

If they could remove the stupid 'blagging' parts it would be an excellent programme.
I agree completely. Totally superfluous.

I could also cope with quite a bit less of the heartstring-tugging waffle about the owners' medical history.

Agreed. No one is going to watch this unless they are into cars, in which case, they don't care with all the waffle surrounding why the car is unfinished or what happens to it afterwards. Who cares about the back story or the reveal?

Who here wouldn't watch it if it was purely: here's a car that needs some work, this is us doing the work, this is the car finished? Who do they think their audience is, bored housewives who want their heart-strings tugged?

Car SOS fans around the world .... We need your help!!!.
We really hope you enjoyed series 3 and hope we made a few dreams come true along the way. But here's the thing,even though the series rated really well, Nat Geo who make the show can't decide whether or not to do a series 4. We wondered if you might help persuade them with a few supportive emails?
If you are in the UK the email address for Nat Geo is ngcdutylog@fox.com and/or you could pester Channel 4 . If you are elsewhere in the World look up Nat Geo on the web and find the contact address which is usually at the bottom of the page.
We would really like to come back soon and continue our mission turn a few lives around.
Best wishes,
Tim and Fuzz
I hope they get another series. It'll never please everyone but for what it is, it's pretty good.

Did I miss an episode with an Audi?

I kept seeing a clip of them standing around a rather nice grey looking one, even had a photo of one as the icon for an episode on sky player, but it didnt match the episode I watched.

Great series. Really hope they do go on to make a 4th.

Thanks!

I'll have to see if I can find that one then. Was it a good episode?

According to their FB page it looks like there's going to be another series with the Nat Geo channel. Good news.

Yeah, I like this too, and my wife, who always ends up with a few tears in her eyes at the end...

He does seem to love himself - even more so that Fuzz 'I was in Pop Will Eat Itself you know' Townsend.

Fuzz is likeable, to be fair if Tim stopped trying to be a rude boy and funny, he would be as well

In the episodes I have seen Fuzz has never mentioned his music career (to my recollection)
