It would be quite entertaining to film a few PHers watching this program and then observe their reactions

[C2james]

Well these people aren't exactly petrolheads are they?

[hornetrider]

Right. That's Alistair McGowan on my st list.

[weyland yutani]

Haven't watched it but is it anti cars or something? I 'd expect it's just moaning about traffic jams and traffic wardens etc which anyone would do.

[dvance]

Well, it's a mixture of anti-cars people and mild petrolheads (1 or 2). Mostly anti-car people though. I can't believe how many stereotypes and cliches were thrown about in under an hour. Feels just like PH

Was just thinking that.

The vast majority of the lovies on there would either live, or regularly work, in london I assume.
A place were driving is crap and there are viable alternatives.

The bloke has always been a massive bell-end.

As the series has the word "grumpy" in it you don't expect enthusiastic response to any topic they cover.

Even the curly but thinning hair, supercilious git has been episodes in the past.

[kieranjholland]

You would have to catch me off guard, I am not sure what my reply would be now that I've spent 3 years in Scotland.

I watched this the other night.

They're all idiots!! All of them! And that Asian woman who claims to be a soap star is soooo bloody miserable and wooden. And half of them have only had licences for a few months.

One of them even said how she's always get in her instructors car with the engine running, so come test time, didn't realise why it wouldn't move. Now, i call bullst on this story but if it's true, why has she got a license now!? People that thick should be permanently banned.

EUGH That was the worst programme ever.

I need to go and lie down...

To be honest, the worst thing for me is that F1 is no longer getting shown on the BBC due to budget problems, but they still produce crap like that.

Sad times. But you know -- cities are trying to make it as hard as they can for motorists etc, so it's not surprising really.

Hasn't McGowan been the SIARPC before - or am I just imagining the chronic irony?
