Yup. Looking forward to watching it. Hopefully it translates well onto the telly.

Me too. I was hoping having a professional production team would make it interesting to watch, but so far they're just prattling on without introduction or context. How many viewers know what evo is?

This is not good TV. It is very, very boring!

The first ten minutes before the ad break was just 'content free expression' that could've wrapped up in 30 seconds.
Yeah, it needs a bit of a narrative, but hey as long as the guys are describing the cars and thrashing them, I'm happy

But they're not even doing that very well. Too much arty-farty camera work, too many cuts.

Admittedly the music and cuts etc are a bit 1997 corporate video, but hey it's itv

Still enjoying it though

Basically a 20 minute YouTube video stretched out to an hour. Not obvious why it needs to be on telly at all.

On t'web it'd have been edited down and lost nothing. Nice to have decent car content on normal telly so mustn't grumble really.
