A (very solid) 7 from me.
James' 370Z and G8 reviews were solid efforts, if lacking in some of the detail - i.e. the Nissan 370Z review didn't mention any power figures, and the G8 review didn't give a price when it was on sale in the US.
Even though it was clearly scripted, and some of the dialogue seemed quite wooden, the end result of Morrison's Band piece was actually quite clever and funny.
The SIABSC was arguably the best SBS contractual obligation yet, and I hope the HG Nelson Up And Under corner becomes a permanent fixture - Australia's own Gambon.
The lawnmower challenge was meh. Seemed kind of pointless, and had fuck all to do with cars other than involving the butchering of the Hilux for a cheap joke. This is what dragged the episode down to a 7.
That Ford ad was a classic. The best bit was comparing the safety standards of the early 1970s to those of today (i.e. 6 dudes standing up in the back of a moving ute as if it was the most natural thing in the world to be doing). The whole Nanny State mentality really has sucked the life out of so many things in life, hasn't it?
One of the weakest episodes of S2, but still better than most of S1 ... much of which boils down to James Morrison. Whilst Waz and Steve are both great (Waz's cringeworthy 'dad' jokes + Steve's excitability are actually quite charming), James adds a little more sophistication into the mix without alienating the average Aussie.
I really hope this makes it to S3, as the TGA3 - given more latitude to be themselves - promise to be a great combination in their own right, and should be able to move well away from being in the shadow of their more famous UK counterparts.
