New Classic Car Show coming
Celeb-heavy car show taps into top-end love for expensive classic motors
The pair are hosting a new programme with the self explanatory title The Classic Car Show. Based in a studio at Brooklands, the 13-part series - optimistically described as 'landmark' in the accompanying press bumph - promises "a supporting cast of global A-list celebrities" and "movie production values, attitude and humour." Trigger finger hovering over the kill switch? Wait! It features such well-known car pundits as Graham Norton, Tinie Tempah, Daisy Lowe and Jessie J.
Oh.
There are glimmers of hope. Derek Bell driving a 962 at Le Mans and a Brabham BT11 at the Monaco Historique sounds more promising and Bruno Senna "putting 10 classics through their paces on a racetrack" could yet rescue the show from what sounds like a lot of fawning at multi-millionaire 'lifestyle' fluff. We shall see in January, even if the press release doesn't actually specify who will be airing the show.
You won't have to wait as long as that for the return of Harris to your screens though. He hasn't been idle in the weeks since we last had one of his videos and, rest assured, more PH-worthy viewing material with fewer supermodels but more tyre smoke will be online shortly.
For more info and the trailer see the official website.
Well summed up by 'fawning at multi-millionaire 'lifestyle' fluff'...
Doesn't look that great a show but it cannot be any worse than Bernie and Mario on Classic Car bodge up.
Firstly "For The Love Of Cars" on channel 4
Then "Car S.O.S" on channel 4
Keep them coming
From January 2015, The Classic Car Show will be globally released in 13 x 1-hour/26 x 30-minute episodes.'
looks like someone has spent a lot of money, hoping to get aired in lots of counties..
However.. I know I'm clearly more aligned to the sort of beardy adenoidal car geek that Clarkson likes to mock at every opportunity. I just wish these shows were more technical / factual than packed with 'A list celebrities' and 'hollywood type budgets' - I just want to know about cars, to see how they fix cars, to learn the more technical / intricate stuff. The rest of it is just meaningless garnish.
God knows they make enough dumbed down dross for the masses (X Factor, Britains Got Talent), is it too much to ask to have something a bit more high brow?!

I'm sure he could "manage" Jodie Kidd. Even if she is about 3feet taller......

In the grassy dust of a dry summers day car park, someone had written with their finger on his bonnet "Jodie went faster".
