    which seemed to be MoD propaganda to show that the army has lots of toys

    Indeed. Was I the only one who thought that this episode was rather
    weak?

    What were you expecting, week after week of solid gold?

    They hit paydirt in the first episode of the series, expect a few weeks
    of filler before the next moment of genius.

    Not necessarily, but something that was a bit better than mildly
    entertaining.
    iPlayer it is then, at least that one does fast forward.

    I've got the mother of all PVRs set to record just about anything that
    looks even vaguely interesting. On which note I watched Pan's Labyrinth
    last night. Rare to find a film that lives up to the hype.

    That feature was utter shite.

    But I enjoyed the hot hatch bit, and the race from the LE to JOG (plus
    a bit). They were imprecise about times (for obvious reasons), but it
    was nice to see that they didn't get remotely close to my record.

    Which is exactly the discussion I had with my son after it had
    finished.
    The Army thing was the same as they did a year or so back, and racing
    a letter, what is that all about ?

    You realise it's all fake, right?

    The Vincent they used belongs to one of my brother's mates. It was
    filmed over two days (hence the reason Hamster saw lots of rain &
    t'other two didn't), as the bike spent most of the first day being
    repaired after breaking down.

    While me and the missus were that episode, we both commented that the reason
    the sky was blue for the carbouys and the sky was black for bikerboy was
    both were filmed on different days. I didn't think a Vincent f that vintage
    would've made it all the way without a *lot* of help from Mr A.A.

    It would've made it no problem if it was properly fettled.

    It is pretty good. All his earlier stuff is enjoyable too, mind;
    particularly Chronos.

    Yeah.

    I somehow doubt that'll pop up on my wishlist though.

    oh sure, if you make it interesting enough, it might filter through.
