I found this show to be reasonably entertaining. While I do believe that 58:00 till the end was full of blatant idiocy and not worth including, one has to admit that this series is really bringing back series 10-and-prior quality. While the knowledge of scripting exists, and sometimes it is blatantly obvious, retconning that information towards previous series is still evident; the prior caravan trip's fire, if that wasn't scripted, how would they have been able to control it and make sure property and safety were accounted for? I don't find the scripting to be NEARLY as bad as series 11-14.
There seems to be far more serious considerations to this series as against prior ones; seasons 11-14 were clearly all cocking about and making a hash out of everything. I don't think there has been genuine sensibility since series 10. The reviews are less fluff, and actually show relevant bits to each car, rather than "POWER!1!!1!!!1!!" while not throwing it into an idiotic context re: the Fiesta review. The convertible test kept to that, with the most distant thing being the "Lauren" test. Keeping it authentic and manageable is where this series has shined so far.
Bringing the sensibility of each "motorhome"'s design into account, what would you expect them to do? They can't pull a trailer, hence the camper, but they needed to each be a unique take. There aren't many things they could do... I'm just surprised that nobody used a people carrier.
SIARPCs are still same-old-same-old. At least they're not completely shameless plugs...*coughsiennamillercough*
It's definitely a step in the right direction.
Edit: 8/10; too lazy to post for Ep 1-3, so i'm just going to say 6/10 for rehashing the old stuff decently, 9/10 for "reminds me of the good old days", and 7/10 for the SIARPCs and the first part of the cars' review respectively.
