Well, I'm really encouraged. If they can improve so much in just one episode (and remember, this was filmed before the first episode aired so they weren't responding to viewer criticisms tonight) this could turn out to be a great filler between TGUK series.
Quite enjoyed Charlie's visceral reactions in the GT, the "just warming the tires" catchphrase in the Ford v Holden test had me grinning, the interview with Steve Bisley was better than the Colosimo one (although Cox still has a habit of talking over the guest and jumping around with his questions) and the camera work on the test track was much better.
The segment in Kalgoorlie was really well filmed, with a few good jokes (particularly the Stig in the truck :lol
and an interesting challenge. I even liked the Smart car hearse bit .... some cocking about, an amusing premise and didn't drag the joke out too long. They could do a lot worse than a segment like this each week.
As with others, I would have liked to see the ford and holden lap Wakefield in competition. As it was, they only had 2 challenges ... should have been "best of 3". Also, Cox will take someone's eye out with all that arm waving ... have to keep a good distance from him at the filming I'm going to on Wednesday
I gave it an 8. Gave a 7 to last week's ... in retrospect should have given it a 6.
