I know I'm not the only one who uses a Chromecast, smart TV or similar to watch online videos on their TV rather than their computer. Quite excellent watching some car reviews on the sofa as if I direct my own TV channel, but nowadays seems a bit naff having to do it at my desk, which this format restricts us to.

When doing the news I have a tip: LOOK AT THE CAMERA, LOOK AT THE CAMERA, LOOK AT THE CAMERA. It's a TV show, talk to the audience, not each other! If I want to watch 2 blokes sat on a couch reading off boring facts to each other I'll go to a pub when there is a classic MG meet there.
Whilst on the couch, lean back and relax as you'll look less forced than this current hunched forward rustling paper approach. Your in a pub, take a drink or something. When else in your life do you ever sit like that on a couch except maybe the dentist office?
The episodes are coming out fairly quickly after each other, you don't HAVE to do the news every time.
Chatting to a random PH owner is great and something unique to you guys, spend more time on it and let him/her walk around the car a bit instead of just standing still looking terrified. Actually talk to him, not just clip some answers. If you were talking to a mate about their new car you don't just stand in the same spot and give 3 facts, you walk about looking at things, opening the bonnet, pressing buttons and you might even start the engine if it's something that sounds good.
Take a change of clothes if you are going to film 2 episodes on the same day.
Either drop the drive past feature or do it properly, I actually want to hear the car. I can find better on youtube frankly.
Apart from the above, it's certainly getting better!

Great stuff, show is coming along nicely. The mission motorsport segment was great - amazing to see what a big impact it has had for those guys.
Some great feedback here from poing:
You could easily find good candidates in the readers rides section. Find the guys with the interesting stories, talk about their car histories etc.
It's coming along really well - looking forward to next few episodes. Some great feedback here from poing:

+1 those shorts where you cut to the side and dan is looking straight ahead would look better if he was looking at the camera. Don't tv types have a trick where they site someone just behind the camera so the presenter can talk to them, and it looks like they are looking directly into the camera?poing said:

+1 have a drink, sit and chat, keep camera rolling, keep the good material.poing said:

This bit is really good - if a little bit short. Would like to see more of this!You could easily find good candidates in the readers rides section. Find the guys with the interesting stories, talk about their car histories etc.
P.S - Louis Karsenbarg would do a cracking job as presenter / segment contributor.
